Parish is of English origin, derived from the Old French 'parroc' and ultimately from the Latin 'parochia'. It signifies a church parish and was historically used to denote an area under the jurisdiction of a particular parish priest. As a given name, Parish is relatively rare but has been used occasionally throughout history.
