Alternatively, it could be a form of the name 'Parasios', which means 'sent by the Persians'. The name Paras is also used in other cultures and languages, such as Indian, where it has different meanings and origins. It's worth noting that this name gained some popularity due to its use in literature, particularly in ancient Greek plays and myths.
The name Paras experienced fluctuations in its popularity over the years, with a notable increase starting from 1990 onwards. However, it appears to have had a steady decline since around the year 2000.
