And I notice that his name was spelled both Peyrouse and Peirouse.

Jim,
The 'Y' spelling was originally an error by Pourret's (1788) artist,
continued by Ker (1802 and 05), and finally corrected in 1955 by Lawrence.

Since we have gotten off on the topic of word meanings, languages,
spellings and naming I will just pipe in with this...

Standardized spelling is a rather recent concept, for instance German was
not standardized until after unification in 1870, as easily witnessed by a
gravestone in a nearby cemetery from the 1840s.

Albizi who made it no further than the street below the balcony he fell
from in Greece.
