Percivall

Percivall is a masculine name representing an archaic or alternative spelling of Percival, one of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table. The name has Old French origins, possibly derived from 'percer val' meaning 'pierce the valley.' This spelling with double 'l' gives it an antique, distinctive quality. Associated with the quest for the Holy Grail in Arthurian legend, Percivall carries connotations of chivalry, nobility, and spiritual pursuit. While the standard Percival remains uncommon, this variant is even rarer, appealing to parents drawn to names with medieval heritage and literary connections. The name evokes images of knightly virtue and quests for higher purpose, maintaining an air of classical dignity and romantic heroism.
