Petin is in Origin.
Petin is a rare masculine given name of Slavic origin, taken from the Russian surname Petin. That surname comes from Pyotr (Petr), the East Slavic form of Peter, plus the possessive suffix -in, meaning “Peter’s.” Ultimately from Greek Petros via Church Slavonic, the name carries the sense of “rock, stone” and connotes steadiness.
Petin appears chiefly as a Russian surname and has only recently seen occasional use as a first name, influenced by the surname-as-given-name trend and by families honoring Slavic roots. It can serve as an inventive variant of Peter. Related forms include Peter, Petr/Pyotr, Petar, and Petru; common nearby diminutives are Petya (Russian) and Petko (Bulgarian). Usage remains uncommon worldwide, skewing masculine.
Petin barely registers. There are only 21 recorded uses on record, spread over 14 countries.
