Pernell is a boy's name of Roman, Latin, and English origin grounded in rustic, humble impressions. As a variant of Parnell, Pernell stems from the Roman and Latin title Petronius, which means “yokel” or “stone.” One of its earliest namesakes was Gaius Petronius Arbiter, an esteemed Roman courtier and satirical author renowned during his time for being the ‘judge of elegance.' Later, Irish politician Charles Parnell brought Pernell’s closest variant into the limelight. Perhaps your Pernell will build on the foundations set by their name’s incredible lineage.
