Pearcy

French surname from place name Perci-en-Auge

Pearcy Origin and Meaning

The name Pearcy is a boy's name.

Pearcy is a masculine name with English origins, derived from the surname Percy. The surname itself comes from a place name in Normandy, France, possibly from a Gallo-Roman personal name "Persius" combined with the Celtic suffix "-acum" meaning "place of." Pearcy can be seen as a variant spelling of Percy, which was borne by a powerful noble family in medieval England. As a first name, Pearcy is quite rare, maintaining an exclusive feel. It has never ranked in the top 1000 names in the United States, appealing to parents seeking a distinguished and uncommon name with historical connections.
