Perceval

Perceval is an old name of French origin. The meaning of Perceval is 'pierce the valley'. It has traditionally been a boy's name with roots in Arthurian legend. It first appeared in an epic poem called 'Perceval, the Story of the Grail'. In that poem, Sir Perceval, one of the legendary knights of the Round Table, searches for the holy grail, also known as the cup of Christ. The name Perceval has different meanings depending on the country of origin. For instance, in English, it means 'one who pierces the valley', and it refers to Sir Perceval. However, in the United States of America, it means 'destroyer', which is hardly a desirable characteristic for the one who searches for the holy grail. In pop culture, several characters are named Perceval (or its variants). For example, Percival' Percy' Weasley, Percival Dumbledore father of Albus Wulfric Brain Percival Dumbledore, Percival Pratt – a wizard poet in the Harry Potter series, and Percival Graves from the movie 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'. It is pronounced as Per-See-Val.

Lucky

Perceval lucky number is 1.

1 symbolizes a pioneering spirit, independent nature, and innate leadership capabilities. On a bad day, 1 can be a bit bossy or boastful, hiding any insecurities behind over-developed self-importance. 1 must remember that although it is first, it can very quickly become the loneliest number. Even the most autonomous 1s need the support of their friends, family, and lovers.
