Pádair Origin and Meaning
Pádair is a masculine name of Gaelic origin, representing the Irish or Scottish Gaelic form of Peter. The name ultimately derives from the Greek 'Petros' meaning 'rock' or 'stone.'

While relatively uncommon even in Ireland and Scotland, the name represents an authentic linguistic connection to Gaelic roots. The traditional nature of this name appeals to those with Celtic ancestry seeking to honor their heritage, while its rarity makes it distinctive in most communities. Pádair has a musical quality when pronounced correctly and evokes the rugged beauty of the Celtic lands where it originated.
