Pettyfer Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
V. Petifer.
Pettipher is an ancient Bucks and Herts name, and further allusion to it will be found under those counties in reference to Puddephatt, which is probably a corruption of it. There was a Bampton family of Pettifer last century (G.). The name of Pettipher occurred amongst the labouring classes of Culworth, Northamptonshire, a century ago (B.). The Rev. John Pettyfer, or Pettifer, was vicar of Blakesley, Northamptonshire, early last century (Baker's "Northamptonshire"). Cussans, in his "Hertfordshire" suggests that in that county the name of Pedefer (Pied - de - Eer?), which occurred in Ippolitts, Herts, in the reign of Edward III., was the original of Puddephatt, a Bucks as well as a Herts name. This is probable, hut at any rate his suggestion is still more applicable to the origin of Pettipher.
Pettypher: Peytever or Pettypher, the name of mayors of Wycombe in the 16th and. 17th centuries (Langley's "Desborough Hundred").
