About the name Paresh

Paresh compresses param and isha into a single claim of supremacy, though the everyday feel of the name is anything but lofty. Paresh Rawal gave it a comic elasticity that no amount of Sanskrit etymology can undo, which is arguably the best thing that can happen to a name.

Paresh is a boy name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced puh-RAYSH. On the NameRarity scale it scores 87 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 1970s.
