Afrikaans: pêrel

Negerhollands: perl, peerl

From Middle Dutch perle, peerle, paerle, parle, presumably via French perle, from Italian perla, from Medieval Latin perla, plausibly a diminutive of Latin perna (“clam, pearl”).
Cognate with English pearl; alternative derivations from Latin birna (“pear”) or beryllus (“beryl”) lack plausibility; the letter sense is apparently popular etymology from nonparel, itself from French nonpareille. Its typographic use is from French perle, following the name given by Jean Jannon to the type used in his miniature editions of Vergil, Horace, & the New Testament in the 1620s, which were the smallest printed works to his time.
