ArchivesRe: Perin
in reply to a message by n0ah
Do you have some evidence of that Perin you know (preferably online, such that editors of this site can check it)? Than you can add the name and put the evidence in the "Notes" section (invisible to the public, but visible to the editors). It is not unusual that some names occur in different cultures with different gender bindings. The Perin already submitted is an Occitanian name.

According to ancestry.com the Dictionary of American Family Names 2nd edition lists several European origins of Perin, all regional derivatives of the local version of Peter/Pierre. For female use, there is an Australian senator and and a late Indian architect, the latter plausibly not connected with a diminutive of Pierre. But then again it might be.
