About the name Parvati
Parvati is Himalaya's daughter, and the name literally makes her a piece of the mountain range rather than merely its resident. She is the goddess who wins Shiva through decades of austerity, so the name reads as patience with a spine in it.
Parvati is a girl name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced PAR-vah-tee. On the NameRarity scale it scores 80 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 timeless.
