The name follows the standard Slavic pattern of a masculine base plus the feminine suffix -ova, to indicate affiliation to the male bearer Parashikov. The root Parashik is likely derived from a given name or nickname, though regional variants exist and precise etymology can vary.

In Latin script, transliterations vary by language, including Parashikova and Parashykova in Ukrainian contexts, and Parashikov in Russian contexts. The surname appears most frequently in areas with historic Russian influence and among emigrant communities.
