This little discovery of mine, is something I've been wanting to 
share for awhile now.  I was browsing through my trusty Baby Name 
Book when I came across Percival.  What do you know?  Here's what it 
said:
"A name invented by the 12th century French writer, Chretien de 
Troyes, for the hero of his romance based on the Welsh hero, 
Peredur, 'warrior of the cauldron'"

It may or may not be significant, but it does tie in rather well with 
his reporting on thin cauldrons in GoF.  The book also goes on to say 
that Chretien de Troyes's Percival later became the good knight of 
the Round Table in Arthurian legend, and about his glimpse of the 
Holy Grail.

Just a little interesting tidbit,
