Parveen
Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Parveen: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1974.
Parveen originates from Persian, where it means "star" or "brilliant," often linked to the Pleiades cluster. The name is widely used across South Asia and has a unisex appeal, though it is more commonly given to girls in modern times. Famous bearers include the iconic Indian actress Parveen Babi, known for her Bollywood career in the 1970s and 80s, and the celebrated Pakistani poet Parveen Shakir, whose feminist Urdu verse remains influential. A notable variant is Parvin, favoured in Iran and neighbouring regions. While no specific place bears the name, its celestial meaning connects it to a universal sense of radiance—a fitting choice for parents seeking a name that feels both elegant and culturally rich.
