Petrona

Meaning of Petrona

Pronounced peh-TROH-nah (/peˈtɾo.na/), Petrona dances onto the scene with a sunlit melody, her syllables rolling off the tongue like warm fiesta breezes. Born as the Spanish feminine twist on Pedro and tracing back to the Greek petros for “rock,” she brings both unshakeable strength and sing-song grace. Once the beloved choice of abuelas, Petrona now sparkles anew—45 adventurous parents in 2024 (around rank 905) have welcomed her into their families—evoking laughter in sun-drenched kitchens, the scent of fresh empanadas drifting through open windows, and talavera tiles gleaming in the afternoon glow. No, she’s not a fossil—she’s a rock star of names, ready to anchor a new generation with timeless flair.
