Pedey Origin and Meaning

The name Pedey is a boy's name.

Pedey is a masculine name that likely originated as a diminutive or nickname form of Pedro, Peter, or similar names derived from the Greek 'Petros' meaning 'rock' or 'stone.' As a standalone given name, Pedey is extremely rare, with very limited documented usage. The name has a friendly, approachable quality with its '-ey' ending creating a diminutive feel. In sporting contexts, it gained some recognition as a nickname, particularly for baseball player Dustin Pedroia. The informal, affectionate quality of Pedey gives it a youthful energy that some parents might find appealing. However, its primary usage remains as a nickname rather than a formal given name in most naming traditions.
