Pyatr Origin and Meaning

The name Pyatr is a boy's name.

Pyatr is a masculine name of Slavic origin, primarily recognized as a variation of the more common Pyotr, the Russian form of Peter. Deriving from the Greek name Petros, meaning "rock" or "stone," Pyatr symbolizes steadfastness and strength. This less common spelling variant appears occasionally in Belarus, Russia, and other Eastern European regions. The name carries historical weight due to its association with prominent figures like Peter the Great. While not widely used internationally, Pyatr offers a distinctive alternative to the more familiar Peter, maintaining the strong, classic qualities while adding a unique Slavic flair. The name's relative rarity makes it an uncommon choice that still connects to a rich cultural and historical tradition.
