Petria Origin and Meaning

The name Petria is a girl's name.

Petria is a feminine name with classical roots, derived from the Latin word 'petra' meaning 'rock' or 'stone.' It's essentially a feminine form of Peter, which comes from the Greek name Petros with the same meaning. The addition of the feminine suffix '-ia' transforms the traditionally masculine name into one with a gentle, flowing quality while retaining its underlying sense of strength and stability. Though never widely popular, Petria has appeared occasionally throughout European history and in English-speaking countries. The name carries connotations of endurance and solidity, balanced by its melodic feminine sound. It might appeal to parents seeking a name with classical origins and substantial meaning, yet uncommon enough to be distinctive. Petria offers a blend of traditional substance with a soft, elegant sound that works well in contemporary contexts.
