Pellegrino is an Italian masculine given name derived from the Latin 'Peregrinus', meaning 'foreigner' or 'pilgrim'. It was originally used to describe someone who had traveled abroad, often for religious purposes. In Italy, Pellegrino is considered a traditional name with historic roots, particularly in southern regions like Campania and Sicily.
"Pellegrino had its highest birth years in 1922 with 9 and 1916 with 8. However, it consistently saw around 5 births annually from 1912 to 1934, with a notable gap between 1934 and 1972 when the name resurfaced with another 5 births."
