Pericies is Greek in Origin.

Pericies is a modern variant inspired by the classical Greek Pericles (Periklēs/Περικλῆς). From peri ‘around; very’ + kleos ‘glory, renown,’ it means ‘surrounded by glory’ or ‘of great fame.’ The -ies spelling likely echoes the sound of Modern Greek Periklís (Περικλής), whose final -ís is heard as ‘ees,’ yielding a phonetic Anglicized/Romance-flavored form.

Pericles is best known from the 5th-century BCE Athenian statesman and saw revivals in Renaissance and neoclassical Europe. The broader root appears across Greek onomastics and persists today in Greece and the Lusophone world, notably as Péricles in Brazil, and in English literature via Shakespeare’s Pericles, Prince of Tyre. Pericies itself has no ancient attestations and remains very rare, appearing in late 20th–21st-century usage as a creative update. Related forms include Pericles, Perikles, Periklis, Péricles (Portuguese), and Pericle (Italian/Romanian). Possible nicknames are Peri or Perry.
