What does the name Peta mean?
Behind the Name calls Peta a chiefly Australian feminine form of Peter. Behind the Name says Peter comes from the Greek Petros, meaning “stone,” a translation of the name Cephas, “stone” in Aramaic, which Jesus gave to the apostle Simon. Wikipedia describes Peta as a feminine given name, with a list of notable women and a short list of men. So a Peta is a stone in a soft-sounding name.
