Meaning & History
Georgian sources state that this name is of Persian origin and means "wise, learned" and "scholar, scientist". This should connect the name to Middle Persian frazānag meaning "wise, intelligent" and frazanagīh meaning "wisdom, intelligence", which have both evolved into modern Persian as فرزانه (farzâne) (see Farzaneh).In Georgian literature, Parsadan is the name of a king of India in the 12th-century epic poem The Knight in the Panther's Skin written by the Georgian poet Shota Rustaveli. He is the father of the princess Nestan-Darejan.A notable real-life bearer of this name was the Georgian historian Parsadan Gorgijanidze (1626-1696).
