The Greek noun περιστέρα (peristéra), meaning "dove" or "pigeon." The etymology of περιστέρα likely derives from the verb περιστέρω (peristérō), meaning "sound round about." The word is composed of περί (peri), meaning "around," and στερέω/στερεός (stéreo), meaning "to make firm" or "to support." Thus, the etymological sense can be understood as "a surrounding support" or "stereo sound" possibly reflecting the bird’s circular or supportive flight patterns in flocks.
