## **Etymology**

* **Persephone:** In a Linear B (Mycenean Greek) inscription on a tablet found at Pylos dated 1400–1200 BC, John Chadwick reconstructed the name of a goddess *\*Preswa* who could be identified with Persa, daughter of Oceanus and found speculative the further identification with the first element of Persephone *Persephonē* (Greek: Περσεφόνη) is her name in the Ionic Greek of epic literature. The Homeric form of her name is *Persephoneia*(Περσεφονεία, *Persephoneia*). A popular folk etymology is from φέρειν φόνον, *pherein phonon*, "to bring (or cause) death".
* **Evans:** A surname of Welsh, and possibly Cornish, origin. Within Wales it is the fifth most common surname and is the tenth most common in England. Within the United States, it is ranked as the 48th-most common surname. Evans is of Welsh origin. In its anglicised form the name means "son of Evan". Regarding its Welsh roots, it is a derivative of the name ***Ifan***, a cognate of John. In the Welsh language, the *f* produces the *v* sound; *Ifan* (*Ivan*) became *Evan*. The similarity to the Slavic name Ivan is not accidental, as the latter is a cognate of John too. In the Welsh language the patronymic "ab Evan" resulted in the anglicized surname "Bevan", which is also common in Wales.

## **Trivia**

* Peri got her name from a list of 50 P names, although the originality of it came from her great-uncle Chris Halliwell's middle name, Perry, as well as her ancestor Charlotte Warren.
* Her powers were bound when she was three years old.
