Meaning and background
The story behind Peroni
Peroni is recorded as an Italian patronymic or plural surname form of Peron or Perone. That supplies a direct family-name relationship for the exact spelling rather than a newly invented pet-name root. A dog owner may instead intend a particular brand or other namesake, which this surname entry does not establish. Keeping that chosen association separate allows the historical explanation to remain narrow and accurate.
