Percy

Old-fashioned male name

Percy is a given name, traditionally masculine, derived from a Norman French surname.

It enjoyed popularity in Victorian England and early America but now sounds old-fashioned: Uncle Percy left everything to the church.

The name appears in literature from Shelley to Harry Potter's Weasley family.
