Pedie is in Origin.

Pedie is a rare English-language diminutive, most often a pet form of Peter and its cognates - Pedro, Peder, Petar, and Petter - ultimately from Greek Petros, “rock; stone.” Sporadically adopted as an independent given name, it appears in British and North American records from the late 19th century onward, usually in informal registers. In northern Scotland, overlap with Orcadian peedie “little” has likely reinforced its affectionate tone and occasional unisex use. Typical pronunciation is PEE-dee.

Variants and spellings include Petey, Pedey, Pedy, and Peedie; related international forms are Pierre, Pietro, Piero, Pyotr, Pedro, Peder, Petar, and Petru, with feminine counterparts Petra and Peta. As a derivative of Peter, the underlying meaning remains “rock,” connoting steadiness and reliability. For families with Orcadian ties, Pedie can also carry the cozy sense of “little one,” making it a warm, informal choice that pairs well with sturdy formal names.
