Perkyn is a masculine name with medieval English origins, functioning as a diminutive form of Peter (meaning 'rock' or 'stone'). The name appears in historical records from Middle English periods, particularly the 14th and 15th centuries, but gradually fell out of common usage.

While extremely rare in modern usage, Perkyn might appeal to parents interested in reviving authentic medieval names or seeking connections to English heritage. The name has a distinctive, somewhat playful sound while maintaining historical authenticity.

Most of the names George R.R. Martin created for his A Song of Ice and Fire series of books are close variants of existing English names, but this is an exception. Gendry was a minor character in the first few seasons of the show, who became a fan favorite largely on the strength of a meme-worthy photo of his shirtless, muscled torso. He returned to the show for a key plotline in the seventh season. Gendry's relative insignificance as a character may actually bode well for the name's chances IRL; it's not so closely associated with the show that people will always make the connection. Pronunciation and spelling, though, may be tough for non-watchers: the initial G is hard.
