MEANING & HISTORY
What does Peregrino mean?
The exact name account connects Peregrino with Latin Peregrinus. The Royal Spanish Academy independently records foreign-land traveller and devotional pilgrim senses for peregrino.
The historical development allows both explanations to be distinguished; it does not require that the name was chosen after an actual pilgrimage.
