Meaning and background
The story behind Peri
Peri is recorded as the Turkish form of Persian Pari, whose meanings include fairy, sprite and nymph. This is a documented connection between names, rather than a translation inferred from their similar spelling. Turkish writing also matters: the name uses dotted İ in uppercase, appearing as PERİ. The fairy association can provide the intended story for a dog’s name, while the spelling preserves the particular Turkish form of the wider name family.
