Americanized form of Breton (Finistère) and French Périchou (via the intermediate form Perishoe) or perhaps of Breton (Morbihan) Périchot: from a French-influenced pet form of the Breton personal name Péric, itself a pet form of Per, an equivalent of Peter ; or from a French double diminutive of the cognate French name Pierre . The surnames Périchou and Périchot are rare in France. Compare Parisher and Parisho .
History: Bearers of the surname Perisho trace their origin to Joshua Perisho from Brittany, who by c. 1638 lived in Pasquotank County, NC, where he married an Elizabeth Griffin. His Americanized surname is also recorded as Perishoe, Perishaw, and Perishew.
