Etymology

As proposed by Palmer, may be related to Luwian (parnanza, “house”) (stem parna-) and productive possessive suffix (-ašša-). A similar toponym (pa+ra/i-na-sa), apparently a town in Anatolia, is attested in a hieroglyphic inscription on a Luwian monument found in Karkamıš (A24a).

However, Beekes argues that according to 6th century encyclopedist Stephanus of Byzantium the mountain had an older name starting from Λ, and judging by the variation σσ/σ it may be Pre-Greek.
