Peter Paul is a male double name honouring Saints Peter and Paul. It may be treated as a single given name or as a first-name middle-name combination (in which case the bearer may go by a form of "Peter" — or "Paul" — rather than the double name). The corresponding name day is 29 June, the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul. The equivalent name in other languages is likewise a juxtaposition of the equivalents of the names Peter and Paul; in some languages the pair may be hyphenated (as French Pierre-Paul) or written solid (as Italian Pierpaolo; Pier Paolo and Pietro Paolo are also found in Italian).
