Peregrine (name)
Peregrine, from the Latin Peregrinus is a given name and a surname. Other forms include Peregrino, Perregrine and Peregrin. The word ''peregrine'' originally meant "foreign", from the Latin ''peregrinus''. The term broadened to mean "wandering" or "travelling" from the habits of young peregrine falcons (''falco peregrinus'', meaning "pilgrim falcon" in Medieval Latin), which would travel long distances to find a suitable nesting place in a high place. The peregrine falcon was first named thus by English ornithologist Marmaduke Tunstall in 1771. Peregrinus was the name of some early saints. The word passed into Old French as ''pelegrin'' (meaning "pilgrim"), which may also have been used in Middle English as a variant of pilgrim. Some French Huguenots who had moved to England by the 18th century bore the surname "Pelegrin". The first records of the surname Peregrine in England are from Norfolk in the 13th century, where these Norman descendants held vast estates. In the United S ...

Latin
Latin (, or , ) is a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of the Indo-European languages. Latin was originally a dialect spoken in the lower Tiber area (then known as Latium) around present-day Rome, but through the power of the Roman Republic it became the dominant language in the Italian region and subsequently throughout the Roman Empire. Even after the fall of Western Rome, Latin remained the common language of international communication, science, scholarship and academia in Europe until well into the 18th century, when other regional vernaculars (including its own descendants, the Romance languages) supplanted it in common academic and political usage, and it eventually became a dead language in the modern linguistic definition. Latin is a highly inflected language, with three distinct genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), six or seven noun cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, ablative, and vocative), five declensions, four ...
