PARSIFAL: ETYMYTHOLOGY

Speranza


http://www.monsalvat.no/wolzogen.htm:

"The Gaelic name "Peredur" is elucidated through

"Pergedur", which is said to signify "the seeker after the

basin". [...] To interpret also the name "Parzifal" in the

same manner from the Gaelic "Per-kyfaill" [is] [however]

more hazardous than Görres' derivation from the Arabic "Parsch-fal", i.e.

the innocent fool."

--- Per-kyfaill. Gaelic. Fascinating. And meaningful. And etymtyhological.
