Petrica

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Swiss

Meaning: Rock, stone

Petrica is a solid choice if you're looking to inspire confidence in baby. This feminine name is Swiss and derives from the Greek favorites, Petra and Peter, meaning "rock" or "stone." It's also perfect for honoring the ambitious Saint Peter, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus in the Christian New Testament. While saintly names like Peter fell out of favor in Switzerland after the Protestant Reformation, baby will undoubtedly spark its revival. Plus, a rare name will help your Petrica shine! They'll be tough as a diamond and never let fear stand in their way.
