About Persey
As a masculine name, Persey might well be used as a Bulgarian and Russian form of Perseus, however, as a feminine choice, it's more likely to derive from the name of the Greek goddess of the Spring and the Underworld, Persephone. Alternatively, it may be used as a gender-neutral form of Percy, itself adapted from a French place name, Perci-en-Auge, meaning "one who pierces the valley".
