About Pet
Pet, an unisex name with roots in English and Greek, means "rock" and has been shortened from the name Petra. This diminutive name also comes from a variety of sources including French's Pierre (Peter) and names like Patricia or Petronella in certain African cultures. There is some speculation that it may have originated from Old English word "pēat," which meant a spoiled child, but the definition is uncertain. Pet's use today as a term of endearment, comparable to "sweetheart" or "honey", makes this name endearing and full of personality for little ones.
