Of Greek origin and masculine, the name Peder means “rock.” It is derived from the Latin name Petrus or the Greek pétrā meaning “rock” or “stone,” and can represent how your bond with baby is as solid as a rock! Peder is a refreshing take on the more traditional name Peter, which has the same meaning and is quite a popular choice, particularly for people of faith. If you’re looking for a name that can remind baby of how strong and resilient they are, Peder might be just the one for them.
