Perlangiero and Perlingeri are almost unique, Perlingieri always very rare, it would seem Campania. additions provided by Stefano Ferrazzi Perlangiero, unique, can be found only in Varoni (BN), Perlingeri, very rare, is perhaps a transcription error of Perlingieri, mainly from Campania, all these surnames lend themselves to at least two hypotheses regarding their meaning. A first interpretation makes them derive from variants of the Provençal name Berenger or Bellenger, with the meaning of valiant fighter (some, however, believe that the name is of Germanic origin, formed by the terms beran, orso, and gaira, lancia, with meaning, therefore, of bear with spear or bear's spear, in relation to the strength of this animal). Another interpretation instead makes them derive from the archaic Berlingiere voice (or from its variants), with the meaning of chatterbox, chatter: the origin of the term is to be found in the ancient French brelenc or berlenc (game table or dining table), from which the Italian Berlengo, of equal significance, is therefore the verb berlingare, that is, to chat, to gossip, so that the berlingiere is literally the one who chats a lot. Ultimately, these are then surnames derived either from the personal names of the founders or from the nicknames attributed to them.
