Although when it comes to "Old English" personal names, any name beginning with "P" is almost certainly not Old English, but Latin, Greek or Celtic (including the early Saxon kings Pybba and Penda). Words with "p" initial are so commonly adaptations of foreign words that the name of the rune for P appears to be taken from an Iranian language, either directly (from the Alanian of the Pontic steppes) or via Slavonic.
