Origin and meaning of Pierpaolo
Pierpaolo is an Italian compound name joining Piero (Pietro, 'rock', from the Greek pétros) and Paolo (from the Latin Paulus, 'small, humble'). It often arises in honour of the apostle saints Peter and Paul, celebrated together on 29 June. It is common in Italy, where double names have a long tradition, and is also written separately as 'Pier Paolo'. It thus unites the firmness of the rock with the humble measure of the second element.
