Percival
Round Table member
Percival is a male given name, most famous as one of the knights of King Arthur's Round Table.
In Arthurian legend, Percival is among the knights who quest for the Holy Grail, sometimes portrayed as pure and naïve.
The name remains in occasional use: Percival seemed an old-fashioned name for such a young child.
