Perergrin as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Perergrin

What is the meaning of the name Perergrin ?

The baby name Perergrin is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈpɛrɪgrɪn/ (PEH-ri-grin).

Perergrin is Latin in Origin.

Perergrin is best understood as a modern respelling of Peregrin/Peregrine, ultimately from Latin Peregrinus, meaning “traveler,” “foreigner,” or “pilgrim.” The name began as a Late Roman cognomen and spread widely in medieval Christendom through veneration of saints such as Peregrine of Auxerre and Peregrine Laziosi. In England it later appeared among the gentry (e.g., Peregrine Bertie) and has seen periodic revivals, helped by the poetic image of the peregrine falcon and by J. R. R. Tolkien’s hobbit Peregrin “Pippin” Took.

International forms include Peregrine/Peregrin (English), Peregrino (Spanish/Portuguese), Pèlerin (French; chiefly the common noun “pilgrim”), Pellegrino/Pellegrina (Italian), Pelegrí (Catalan), and the feminine Peregrina. Common nicknames are Perry, Peri, and Pippin. While traditionally masculine, the name is occasionally used unisex in contemporary English. Perergrin, as a creative variant, preserves the same meaning and associations but may require occasional spelling clarification.
