Are Persian and Parsi different?

Parsis are essentially Persian Zoroastrians who migrated from Persia (Modern day-Iran) to India, specifically Gujarat, from Iran to avoid persecution by the Muslims (2).

What is the significance of Parsi baby names?

Parsis are an ethnoreligious group in India that follow the Zoroastrianism faith. Parsi baby names take inspiration from their religion. Many Parsi names are related or directly connected to their faith, like Adarfra, which means ‘fire of glory’ in Zoroastrianism, Adorbad, which is a form of Zoroastrian religious writings, and Ardafravash, denoting ‘holy guardian spirit.’

What are some gender-neutral Parsi baby names?

Elham meaning ‘inspiration,’ Khurshid or Khorshid, which means ‘shining sun,’ and Mehr, which means ‘love,’ ‘friendship,’ and ‘kindness,’ are some gender-neutral Parsi names.
