History and Origin

The oldest version of this nursery rhyme was found in “Peter Piper’s Practical Principles of Plain and Perfect Pronunciation” by John Harris (1756 - 1813) in London in 1813.

The references included a one-name tongue-twister of each letter of the alphabet in the same pattern. However, this rhyme was well-known from decades earlier.

Few authors have termed the rhyme’s subject as “Pierre Poivre.” He was the 18th-century French horticulturist and government administrator of Mauritius. 

He was known as the person who investigated the Sychelles' potential for spice cultivation.

Later, Poivre smuggled cloves and nutmeg out of the Dutch East India Company, took over the spices, and grew them in his house, breaking the Dutch monopoly.

It was his forceful advocacy supporting the free market. Cultivating spices led to their introduction in Zanzibar, which remained the world’s largest clove producer until recent decades.

Furthermore, the ‘Peter Parker Principle’ is a cognitive error that most people make. They tend to confuse two words resembling each other.

According to various studies, this principle applies to people who confuse other people's names.

Novelists are well aware of giving character names that start with the same letters since readers tend to get confused. Besides, the names of medications are also confusing when they start with the same letters.
