Pedrín Origin and Meaning

The name Pedrín is a boy's name.

Pedrín is a masculine Spanish name that functions as an affectionate diminutive of Pedro, which is the Spanish equivalent of Peter. The name ultimately derives from the Greek 'Petros' meaning 'rock' or 'stone.' The diminutive suffix '-ín' adds a sense of endearment in Spanish-speaking cultures. Pedrín is commonly used as a nickname in Spain and Latin American countries, particularly when addressing younger boys named Pedro or as a term of affection for men of any age. While not frequently used as a formal given name, it carries the warmth and tradition associated with the more common Pedro.
