PERONI
Peroni
Peroni is an Italian surname that can also be found in the United Kingdom due to historical movements of people between the two countries. The name is of occupational origin, deriving from the Old Italian word "perone", meaning "pear tree", suggesting an ancestor either lived near or worked with pear trees.
In Italy, the most well-known association with the name is the Peroni Brewery, founded by Giovanni Peroni in 1846 in Vigevano, Lombardy. The brewery later moved to Rome and became one of the most famous producers of beer in Italy.
In the United Kingdom, individuals with the Peroni surname are likely to have Italian heritage, reflecting the long history of Italian migration to the UK. As a result, the surname is not as common as British native surnames but has a distinctive and recognisable quality.
Overall, the Peroni surname carries a sense of Italian heritage and craftsmanship, often linked to the beer-making industry, and it is a testament to the diverse cultural influences present in British society.
There are approximately 61 people named Peroni in the UK. That makes it one of Britain's least common surnames. Only around one in a million people in Britain are named Peroni.
