Pedur is Welsh in Origin.
Pedur is a rare Brittonic/Cornish given name ultimately derived from Greek Petros via Latin Petrus, meaning “rock, stone.” In the Celtic languages of Britain, the apostolic name developed distinctive local forms; Cornish shows Pedyr/Pedur alongside Welsh Pedr and Manx Peddyr. The sense of “rock” made the name emblematic of steadfastness through Christian symbolism of the Apostle Peter.
Used in medieval and early modern Cornwall and the Isle of Man through church influence, Pedur is now chiefly seen in modern Cornish revival naming, prized for its local flavor while remaining easily understood internationally. Related and cognate forms include Peter (English), Pedr (Welsh), Pedyr (Cornish), Peddyr (Manx), Peadar (Irish/Scottish Gaelic), Pêr/Per (Breton), Peder (Scandinavian), Pierre, Pietro, Pedro, Petru, Petar, Piotr, and Petros. Not to be confused with Welsh Peredur, a separate name of different origin.
