ms_annethrope here:

Ah clarity. What I was trying to say is that the name Percy is 
etymologically unrelated to the names Percival (a surname), 
Parzival, or, Lord have mercy, Richard Wagner's Aryan proto-type, 
Parsifal. But the surname Percy is the name of the earls and later 
dukes of Northumberland, of which Harry Hotspur was a scion.
