Description:
Idioms usually use well-known words.
My information is incomplete on these points.
Think Peddinti, Peddinty, Peddinton (adding "-ton" is a common English thing), Peddi, or even Pedi. These might come from different ways people heard or wrote the name, or how it changed over time and place. Adding or dropping letters, or slightly changing the spelling, is normal name evolution. Family nicknames also play a part. The different versions show how names change across generations and places.
