Peregrine
Pronounced PAIR-uh-grin
boy
Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Peregrine does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Traveler; Pilgrim; Wanderer", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Peregrine.
