English: from a Middle English personal name which took various
forms: e.g. Perot, Parot, Paret, all pet forms of
Peter. The word parrot, denoting the talking bird, is
most probably from the personal name (compare robin, which is
from a diminutive of Robert; also jackdaw and
magpie). The bird name is most unlikely to be the source of the
surname.English: possibly a habitational name from
North and South Perrott in Somerset, which are named for the river
Parret, on which they stand.
