Comments and insights on the name Parisa: | Edit

This name is lovely, but should not be used by anyone planning to live in a German-speaking country. It is pronounced exactly the same as the slang term "Pariser", which in German means "condom".

In America, people will pronounce Parisa as "Parissa", although its proper Persian pronunciation is "Pa-ree-saw". A good mid-ground is an easy "Pareesa" pronunciation without much emphasis on any syllable. In Farsi, Parisa means angelic, although some dictionaries will say fairy-like.
