I used to work for a lawyer called Philip Peregrin! (No I'm not a lawyer, just to head off the likely flames, but I had a summer job as a filing clerk in his office!)

The definition of the name as 'outsider' I think comes either from the Roman or Norman periods, where it defined people who came from outside the kingdom (or Empire) but were allowed to settle within its lands.
