About the name Péricles
Péricles belongs to the Portuguese tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Péricles first appears in Social Security records in 1921. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #3181 in 1965, and in 2024 5 babies received the name — 80 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
