Best Answer

The native origin of the name of Peru is uncertain. It may derive from the local word for a river (biru), or from a place-name (pelu), or from the name of a native chieftain (Beru).

It is certain that it comes from a local native American language, corrupted slightly in the mouths of early Spanish explorers..
