Well, just looking through the list, I came across my name and the meaning is "NOT" really correct and the reason that I know this, is because years ago when I was in Iran, I went through some old Persian books to find the actual meaning of my name.
In Farsi "
Parisa" is short for "Pari Afsa". "Pari" means fairy but "Afsa" comes from the word magic. So the whole name means "someone who captures fairies with her enchanting/magical powers!"
Hope that helps,
Parisa
