Parvez Origin and Meaning

The name Parvez is a boy's name.

Parvez is a masculine name of Persian origin, broadly used across Iran, Pakistan, India, and other parts of the Middle East and South Asia. The name means "fortunate," "lucky," or "victorious" and derives from ancient Persian language roots. In Urdu and Persian contexts, it carries connotations of success and prosperity. Historically, the name gained recognition through Persian rulers, including King Parviz (Khosrow II) of the Sasanian Empire. While maintaining consistent popularity in Muslim communities, particularly those with South Asian heritage, Parvez remains relatively uncommon in Western countries. The name's distinctive sound and positive meaning make it a meaningful choice for families seeking to honor Persian, Pakistani, or broader Islamic cultural traditions.
