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 .
