De Pietro Name Meaning, Origin and Heraldry

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named De Pietro, so the heraldry linked to Di Pietro is a starting point, not an automatic right.

Meaning of the name

Some records give Di Pietro; others give De Pietro. Both point to the same Italian family name. At root, the name means “Son of Pietro (Peter)”.

Spelling and variants

Only a small detail separates the spellings: De Pietro has “e” where Di Pietro has “i”. You may also find the name written Pietri and Di Piero.
