This article is about the name of God in Persian. For other uses, see Parvardigar (disambiguation).
Parvardegār or Parwardigār (پروردگار; Persian pronunciation: [pærˌværdeˈgɒːr]) is an appellation or title for God in the Persian language.[1] Its literal meaning is sustainer, a name metaphorically and attributively used for Khuda or God.
The word has Persian roots and comes from parva- meaning to foster, cherish, to nurture, to develop/care for. Digar, when applied in this sense, means "again and again." Thus Parvardigar means "to care again and again."
