Its toponym means "natural silk".

==History==
The city is intended to provide residences for the staff of [[Imam Khomeini International Airport]], and to create a balance in the settlement pattern of [[Tehran]], establish an appropriate environment to draw in the extra population of Tehran and offer an alternative to unsystematic settlements. Parand is expected to accommodate 483,000 people on 3,420 hectares of land.<ref name="Parand City"> {{cite web |first=Mir-Mohammad |last=Gharavi |orig-date={{lang|fa|rtl=yes|تاریخ تصویب}} (Approval date) 1392/02/09 (Iranian Jalali calendar) |date=29 April 2013 <!-- Converted 'Approval date' using https://www.iranchamber.com/calendar/converter/iranian_calendar_converter.php --> |script-title=fa:شورای عالی شهرسازی و معماری ایران در خصوص طرح جامع اراضی ۱۲۰۰ هکتاری الحاقی مصوب در شهر جدید پرند و تغییرات طرح جامع شهر جدید پرند |trans-title=‌Supreme Council of Urban Planning and Architecture of Iran regarding the master plan of 1200 hectares of additional land approved in the new city of Parand and changes to the master plan of the new city of Parand |url=https://lamtakam.com/law/council_of_ministers/842960 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250622145236/https://lamtakam.com/law/council_of_ministers/842960 |archive-date=22 June 2025 |access-date=22 June 2025 |website={{lang|fa|rtl=yes|لام تا کام}} [Lam ta Kam] |publisher={{lang|fa|rtl=yes|هیات وزیران}} [Council of Ministers] |agency={{lang|fa|rtl=yes|شورای عالی شهرسازی و معماری ایران}} [Supreme Council of Urban Planning and Architecture of Iran] |language=fa |id={{lang|fa|rtl=yes|شماره ابلاغیه ۳۰۰/۶۹۴۸}} [Notification number 300/6948].}}</ref>

The plan was a well-planned city which responds to the community's needs. It aims to host low-income families (laborers’ and employees’ housing cooperatives) by providing low-priced residential units with bank loans thereby attracting various classes of people. In 2019, the city has not yet attained those goals.{{cn|date=January 2020}}
