Paun Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

Paun in Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, and in Montenegro has the same meaning. It refers to the most beautiful bird in the world: PeacockIn Hinduism, the peacock is the mount of the Lord Kartikeya, the god of war. Ancient Greeks believed that the flesh of peafowl did not decay after death, so it became a symbol of immortality. This symbolism was adopted by early Christianity, thus many early Christian paintings and mosaics show the peacock. The peacock is still used in the Easter season, especially in the east. The 'eyes' in the peacock's tail feathers symbolise the all-seeing Christian God and – in some interpretations – the Church. A peacock drinking from a vase is used as a symbol of a Christian believer drinking from the waters of eternal life. The peacock can also symbolise the cosmos if one interprets its tail with its many 'eyes' as the vault of heaven dotted by the sun, moon, and stars. By Christian adoption of old Persian and Babylonian symbolism, in which the peacock was associated with Paradise and the Tree of Life, the bird is again associated with immortality. In Christian iconography, the peacock is often depicted next to the Tree of Life.In India, peacocks were believed to be immune to poison, even deliberately consuming poisonous substances which made the resplendent colours of their plumage all the more vibrant.
