Peterina is a girl’s name of Greek origin, inspired by the popular Greek names Petra and Peter, meaning “rock” or “stone.” Rocks and minerals may be a major part of everyday life, but they’re just as important to the mythical world. In Greek mythological tales, rocks sometimes represented obstacles that heroes had to overcome to finish their quests. According to Celtic lore, stony areas were also said to be a gathering ground for spirits and fairies. Name your little one Peterina, and they might see the beauty in the bedrock, too!
