Pelegrino Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

The Pelegrino surname comes form the term pilgrim, which refers to the traveler who visits a sanctuary or some place considered sacred. In its most general meaning is 'everyone who walks in strange lands'. For Spanish Catholics, a pilgrim is one who goes to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela to visit the tomb of the apostle. Thus, because of the fate of his pilgrimage, he distinguishes it from the walkers who go to other places of deep spiritual significance in Catholicism: the rosemary, which he does to Rome, where the pope dwells, considered the successor of St. Peter, and The palm tree, which goes to Jerusalem and in general to the Holy Places.
