Periveş name meaning
“fairy-like; beautiful like a fairy”
Periveş means “fairy-like” or “beautiful like a fairy.” It joins Persian perî, meaning “fairy,” with the resemblance-forming element veş. Used for girls in Türkiye, the name evokes fairies in traditional tales and belongs alongside Periru and Periçehre in a literary family of names built around fairy imagery.
What does Periveş mean?
Fairy-like; beautiful like a fairy
In Turkish: periye benzeyen; peri gibi güzel
Periveş carries into a name the fairy comparison also found in Turkish literary language. Its suffix adds resemblance rather than specifically meaning face or hair. It therefore expresses a more general beauty comparison than Periçehre or Periru and need not identify a particular character from a tale.
Origin of the name Periveş
Formed from Persian parī, 'fairy', and the resemblance suffix -vaš. The compound means 'like a fairy'.
