Perig

Perig is a Breton masculine given name, representing the traditional Breton form of Peter, itself derived from the Greek Petros, meaning rock or stone. The Greek name was a translation of the Aramaic Cephas, the byname given by Jesus to the apostle Simon, whose foundational role in Christianity made the name enormously popular across Europe. Perig reflects the distinct phonological character of the Breton language and remains a marker of Breton cultural identity. Related forms include the French Pierre, the Welsh Pedr, and the Cornish Peder.
