Pero is Slavic in Origin.
Pero is a South Slavic diminutive of Petar, the local form of Peter, from Greek Petros meaning "rock, stone." It is especially common in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Montenegro, used both as an affectionate nickname and as an independent given name. The same spelling also appears in medieval Iberia as a vernacular form of Pedro, most recognizably in Portuguese as Pêro, showing the pan-European reach of the Peter family.
Noted bearers include the explorers Pêro Vaz de Caminha and Pêro da Covilhã, and the Macedonian basketball player Pero Antić. Related variants are Peter, Petar, Pedro (Spanish/Portuguese), Pietro/Piero (Italian), and Petro (Ukrainian); common Slavic diminutives include Pera and Perica, with the feminine Petra. In many Christian calendars, the name day falls on 29 June, the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, reinforcing the meaning of steadfast "rock."
