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. The Bollywood film Pari (2018) brought the name international attention.
Pari reduces to six — the number of soft beauty.
