Peadar

Peadar is a masculine given name in the Irish,[1] and Scottish Gaelic languages [2] (in Manx Gaelic orthography the same name is rendered "Peddyr"). The names are ultimately derived from the Greek word petros, meaning "stone", "rock".[1] The Scottish Gaelic Peadar is said to be reserved for the saint, and the Scottish Gaelic Pàdraig. It is a variation of the name Peter.[3]
