* Perkeo .is - says Wikipedia - probably named after Clemens von Heidelberg:
Er muss ein sehr intelligenter und durchsetzungsfähiger Mensch gewesen sein und machte trotz seiner Behinderung eine gewaltige Karriere. Er war ein hochrangiger Mitarbeiter des Kurfürsten Carl Philipp zu Heidelberg anfangs des 18. Jahrhunderts. Und er war ein „Zwerg“, wahrscheinlich aufgrund Pseudoachondroplasie. Zunächst war er als Hofzwerg an den Hof gekommen, als Kuriosität zur Belustigung des Fürsten und des Hofstaates. Sein Künstlername soll sich daraus ableiten, dass er auf die Frage, ob man nicht noch ein Glas Wein heben könnte, auf italienisch antwortete: perché no? (Warum nicht? = Na klar doch!).

So, Perkeo means "Midget" as well as "Why not" What a brilliant name for a rather small, high quality camera!
