ArchivesRe: The meaning of Parina, an Asian feminine given name.
in reply to a message by Joiya
Just to be clear, Parina does not mean "परी के समान" (equal to a pari, i.e., a beautiful nymph or fairy) in Hindi. Someone may have made that meaning up, but I doubt that is the origin of the Hindi name ...
Incidentally, I could not find the Australian slang Parina. And, are you sure Mayumi in Japanese is related to Mayumi in Tagalog? I would be surprised if Asian names are particularly prone to assimilation compared to other names.
