Etymology
First attested in 1525. From perrot:, either a diminutive of Pierre: or a shortened form of  perroquet:. Compare French pierrot: and Occitan parrat:. A number of origins have been suggested for perroquet:, such as Spanish periquito: and Italian parrochetto:. The relationship between these various words is disputed. Replaced earlier popinjay:.
