Place name in 1691 Pfalz birth record
I can't make out the place name for the sponsors in this 1691 birth record from the Billigheim-Barbelrodt area: it seems to be Pe?iam or Pl?iam? What do you see? Thanks!

It might be "Pelican" which was apparently what Billigheim was sometimes called according to the following link:
"Report of the Reformed Walloon Church of Pelican [Pelican = Billigheim]. The church of Pelican in the district of Germersheim was established under Duke Charles Louis [Karl Ludwig] in the year 1664, who ruled in favor of the Walloons who came from the country of Loewe [de la Loewe]2 (Perhaps this is a mix-up with L’Alloeuve.) because of their religion. He placed them in the village of Pelican [Billigheim] and six other villages surrounding that village, gave them a pastor and a school teacher, if they gave the names of 50 families. This church was fairly large at first, but later a large part of the residents left for the country of Brandenburg, because of oppression they endured before the time of the Reunion of France in the district of Germersheim."

I stumbled into it. I looked up Billigheim on Meyers Gazetteer and couldn't find any nearby towns that looked right.
But I accidentally zoomed in on the map to where it switched from the "old" map to a modern street map. There was a business called Pelikan-Apotheke on the map. That got me wondering if Pelican was a neighborhood in Billigheim so I googled "Pelican Billigheim". That article came up first.

@JohnsonGreg: that's a fantastic reference! I have been trying unsuccessfully to find some historical background for Billigheim and Mühlhofen -- and this is a gold mine! Do you have any other leads on references for this area?
And thanks for solving the 'Pelican'!

I see Billigheim has a "heraldic Pelican" on its coat of arms:
