Pedi Origin and Meaning

The name Pedi is a girl's name.

Pedi is a feminine name with multiple cultural origins. It can be derived from the Northern Sotho language of South Africa, where it refers to the Bapedi people. In this context, the name connects a child to this proud cultural heritage. Alternatively, Pedi might function as a diminutive of names containing 'ped' elements, like Pedrina or Pedra, which relate to the Greek root meaning 'child' or the Latin 'petra' meaning 'rock' or 'stone'. As a standalone name, Pedi remains quite uncommon internationally, appealing to parents seeking brevity and uniqueness. The name's simplicity makes it easily pronounceable across languages, while its cultural connections provide depth of meaning beyond its short, two-syllable structure.
