Peta

The name Peta is a charming and original girl’s name. Possibly an Australian creation, Peta comes from the Greek Peter and means “rock” or “stone.” It may also have links to the Indigenous Niitsitapi, a.k.a. Blackfoot, word _pííta_a, meaning “eagle.” While these two images are both vastly different—the stone on the ground and the eagle in the sky—there is something beautiful about this name’s duality. Every time you say their name, little Peta will be reminded that they can do anything they put their mind to—be it soaring amongst the clouds or staying grounded on the earth.
