Woulfe gives the Gaelic form of this name as MacPheadruis (son of Petrus, the Latin of Peter); I presume he had some authority for adding that the family was “not improbably” an offshoot of the O'Breslins” (see More Irish Families, p. 42).

McFeteridge Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Woulfe gives the Gaelic form of this name as MacPheadruis (son of Petrus, the Latin of Peter); I presume he had some authority for adding that the family was “not improbably” an offshoot of the O'Breslins” (see More Irish Families, p. 42). It is essentially an Ulster name. It occurs in Co. Antrim in the “census” of 1659 as MacPhetrish; and MacPhatricks which is also there is probably a variant of the same name not of MacPatrick (q.v. infra). From Co. Antrim, too, came Lieut. MacPhedris and his relative William MacFetrick, two of the defenders of Derry at the siege of 1689. Woulfe distinguished between MacFettridge (Mac Pheadruis) and MacFetrick, which he makes MacPhadraic: They are, however, usually synonymous. MacFettridge is numerous to-day in Counties Antrim and Derry but not elsewhere.
Mac Pheadruis, i.e. son of Petrus, not Patricius. The anglicized form is much confused with MacFetrick, both being located mainly in Antrim.
