About the name Peregrine
Peregrine belongs to a tiny class of names that sound simultaneously monastic and aristocratic, and the falcon association gives it an edge the pilgrim meaning alone would not. It is vanishingly rare outside a narrow slice of English usage, where it survives largely as Perry.
Peregrine is a boy name of Latin origin, pronounced PER-uh-grin. On the NameRarity scale it scores 96 out of 100, which places it in the ultra rare band — fewer than 1 in 10,000 people carry this name. You will almost never meet another. Its strongest period was the Medieval era.
