Petter is a masculine name of Scandinavian origin, serving as the Nordic variation of Peter, which derives from the Greek 'Petros' meaning 'rock' or 'stone.' Common in Sweden, Norway, and other Nordic countries, Petter carries the same biblical connections as Peter, who was one of Jesus's apostles. The double 't' spelling reflects Scandinavian phonetic patterns and distinguishes it from the more international Peter. While maintaining steady popularity in Northern Europe, it remains relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, giving it an exotic yet familiar quality for international use. Petter conveys strength and reliability through both its meaning and sound, offering a distinctive alternative to the more widely used Peter.
