Petti

Petti is an uncommon feminine name that may have origins as a Finnish nickname for Petra, or as a variation of Betty or Petty. In Finnish, it's also used as a masculine nickname for Peter. The name has a sweet, diminutive quality with its 'i' ending giving it a friendly, approachable feel. Petti remains very rare in English-speaking countries, making it a distinctive choice. The name's brevity makes it punchy and memorable, while its similar sound to more familiar names keeps it accessible. In some contexts, it may relate to the Italian word 'petti' meaning 'chests' or 'breasts,' though this connection is generally not associated with the given name.

Pronounced PET-ee.
