Perequin Origin and Meaning

The name Perequin is a boy's name.

Perequin is an uncommon masculine name that may have origins in medieval Spanish or French naming traditions. It possibly developed as a diminutive or variant form of names like Pere (the Catalan form of Peter) or Peregrine (from the Latin "peregrinus" meaning "traveler" or "pilgrim"). The suffix "-quin" suggests a diminutive form, similar to the pattern seen in names like Pasquin or Joaquin. Perequin has a melodic, somewhat exotic quality while maintaining a structure that feels vaguely familiar to Western ears. Though extremely rare in contemporary usage, the name offers a distinctive option for parents seeking a name with potential historical roots but little current usage.
