Parsis are an ethnoreligious group in India that follow the Zoroastrianism faith. Parsi baby names take inspiration from their religion.

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.
