Peacock Symbolism. Meaning of Peacock Symbols. The peacock is a wonderful bird, it is colorful and beautiful, the first time you see one, it is spellbinding. It has often been believed that keeping peacock feathers in your house will bring you bad luck, so there is the first symbol that peacocks stand for, bad luck. Another symbol the peacock stands for is renewal.
It is even possible that peacock was the original meaning of the word in English, but that seems unlikely. For the same reason, the capercaillie (a kind of grouse) has sometimes been called a peacock (pavo) in Latin as well as turkey in English. There are other theories of how the bird got its name. John Smith (of Pocahontas fame) is sometimes given credit for naming the birds he saw in Virginia turkey, having confused them with the Guinea fowl. But as we have already seen, both birds were established in England decades before Smith was born in 1580.
