About the name Parul

Parul names a climbing flower and carries the same unassuming prettiness as the plant itself. It is common enough in Gujarat and Bengal to feel homely, and short enough that nobody abroad has ever needed to shorten it.

Parul is a girl name of Gujarati origin, pronounced PAA-rool. On the NameRarity scale it scores 92 out of 100, which places it in the ultra rare band — fewer than 1 in 10,000 people carry this name. You will almost never meet another. Its strongest period was the 1980s.
