About the name Parag

Parag means the fine pollen that a bee carries off a flower, a delicate image for what is otherwise a very ordinary Maharashtrian and Gujarati name. It reads modest on paper and has never had a fashionable spike, which suits most Parags fine.

Parag is a boy name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced puh-RAAG. On the NameRarity scale it scores 90 out of 100, which places it in the very rare band — a genuinely uncommon pick — most people have never met anyone with this name. Its strongest period was the 1990s.
