 The word "peregrine" does not mean "falcon" in French, making the name "Le Peregrine" quite odd to a French reader (the word does exist in French, though it is used to refer to the "peregrine saltbush", or "Atriplex suberecta" and not any species of birds); in French translations of comics featuring the character, his name was changed to ""Le Faucon Pèlerin"", meaning "The Peregrine Falcon".
