Linguistic explanation and meaning

A name denoting a member of the Roman gens Petronia; its deeper etymology remains uncertain.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno pochádza z latinského rodového mena Petronius, označujúceho príslušníka rímskeho rodu Petroniovcov (gens Petronia). Jeho hlbší pôvod nie je istý; pravdepodobne súvisí s osko-umberským osobným menom Petro, ktoré sa vykladá ako náprotivok latinského Quartus („štvrtý“). Menej pravdepodobné je odvodenie od latinského apelatíva petrō („vidiečan, prostý človek“).
