History & Origin

Periann is an American compound name pairing Peri, from Perry or the Persian peri meaning 'fairy', with Ann, the enduring form of Hannah, 'grace'. It belongs to the mid-century vogue for -ann double names; it appears very briefly around 1960, one of the rarest entries in the record.

It barely registered, given to only a small handful of girls in a year or two around its appearance, so a Periann from that moment would be in her sixties today. Its brief, local flash marks it as a true one-off double name rather than any kind of trend.

Did you know? Periann belongs to the mid-century fashion for -ann double names like Ruthann and Carolann.
