Pededur is Welsh in Origin.

Pededur is a rare, modern respelling of the Welsh name Peredur, shaped by the look and sound of Pedr (Welsh) and Peder (Scandinavian) forms of Peter. Etymology is debated; the second element clearly matches Welsh dur “steel,” while the first has been linked to a Brittonic root for “spear” or to an intensifying prefix per-, yielding readings such as “steel-strong,” “man of steel,” or “spearman of steel.”

Peredur appears in early medieval Brittonic history and in the Welsh romance Peredur fab Efrawg, later aligned with the Grail-knight Percival. Variant forms include Peredur (standard Welsh) and Peretur (Old Welsh), with the literary cognate Percival; related names are Pedr and Peder. Pededur, as a contemporary variant, remains extremely uncommon but retains an evocative Arthurian aura. Possible short forms include Peri, Perry, or Ped, and the name suits parents seeking a distinctive, pan-Celtic-leaning choice with a bold, “steel” core.
