      Meaning

      God of Flood

      Variations

      Patricia, Aparicion, Dericia
      The name Paricia originates from the Incan civilization, where it held significant importance. In Incan culture, Paricia was the deity associated with floods. This name derives from the Quechua language, spoken by the indigenous people of the Andes. The Quechua word pari means flood, and combined with the suffix -cia, it forms the name Paricia, which translates to God of Flood.

      Throughout history, the name Paricia has held a significant role in Incan mythology and religious practices. Ancient Incans believed that Paricia was responsible for the floods, which were viewed as both destructive and necessary for the growth of their agricultural endeavors. Thus, Paricia was worshipped and appeased through various rituals and offerings, as the deity held the power to transform the landscape through flooding.

      In modern-day usage, the name Paricia continues to echo the cultural and historical roots it holds. Although less common than other names, Paricia is cherished by individuals seeking a unique and meaningful name for their child. Its ancient origins and association with the Incan deity contribute to a sense of mystique and cultural heritage.
