Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Ženská podoba latinského rímskeho rodového mena Petronius, spätého s rodom Petroniovcov (gens Petronia). Samotné nomen Petronius má neistú etymológiu: najpravdepodobnejšie súvisí s oskánsko-umberským osobným menom Petro, vykladaným ako náprotivok latinského Quartus („štvrtý“), prípadne s latinským apelatívom petro („vidiečan, neotesanec“). Spájanie s gréckym pétros („kameň, skala“) je druhotné a historicky sa rozšírilo najmä prostredníctvom mena Petronila a legendy o svätom Petrovi.
