The name likely originated as a surname derived from Old French 'paroisse' or Latin 'parochia,' referring to an ecclesiastical district or someone who lived near or worked for the parish church. As a first name, Parrysh emerged in the late 20th century, primarily in the United States, reflecting the trend of using surnames as given names. The distinctive spelling with double 'r' and ending 'sh' gives it a contemporary feel while maintaining connections to its historical roots.
