Pari (پری) is the Persian word for "fairy" — the supernatural beings of Persian and broader Middle Eastern folklore, often beautiful, sometimes mischievous. By extension, the word is used to describe a woman of extraordinary beauty.
Pari is used as a girl's name across Iran, Afghanistan, and the broader Persian-speaking world. It also appears in Urdu, Hindi, and Turkish.
Pari does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Pari reduce to 8, The Visionary. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
