you know, I'm trying to find the origin of it too and i can't find it :(

My maiden surname is "Peru". My family history shows I am of Native Americian origin from the Seneca Indian tribe around Buffalo, NY.

Apparently, from my father's side, we are descendants of the Seneca Chief, Red Jacket.

I am told the name was mispelled on an important document "spelled as (Peru) but the pronunciation was different", and came from that lol... I am only going on what my family has done research on...
