Elgin, II, p. 299), and John Pedder was a trade burgess in Aberdeen in 1673 (ROA., I, p. 237). The names of Patrick Pettare, witness in Forfarshire, 1479 (Southesk, p. 720), and James Petter, W.

In various English dialects signifies a Pedlar; but it must not be regarded as a corruption of that word; a ped, in the eastern counties, means a species of hamper without a lid, for the conveyance of fish, eggs, chicken, &c,; and the person who traffics in such small articles is therefore very properly styled a Pedder, See Halliwell.
From the Old Norse, Petarr or Pettarr (Peter); from the Swedish ,from the Danish, Peder; from the Flemish, Pètte; personal name This name is seldom found before the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.
