PERCIVAL

English form of French Percevel, PERCIVAL means "pierced valley." In Arthurian legend, this is the name of the pure and innocent knight of King Arthur's court who was known as "the Welshman." He was the son of King Pellinore, and brother to Dindrane and Sirs Aglovale, Dornar, Lamorak, and Tor. After the death of his father, his mother raised him in the forest away from the ways of men. When he was 15 a group of knights passed through the forest and Percival was awe-struck by their appearance. He then traveled to Arthur's court in the hope of becoming a knight himself. He was most noted for having succeeded in the Quest for the Holy Grail.Â

Percival

English : from the personal name Perceval, first found as the name of the hero of an epic poem by the 12th-century French poet Crestien de Troyes, describing the quest for the holy grail. The origin of the name is uncertain; it may be associated with the Gaulish personal name PritorÄ«x or it may be an alteration of the Celtic name Peredur (see Priddy). It seems to have been altered as the result of folk etymological association with Old French perce(r) â€˜to pierce or breachâ€™ + val â€˜valleyâ€™.English : Norman habitational name from either of the two places in Calvados named Perceval.
