Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Meno Petronella je variantom neskorolatinského mena Petronilla, zdrobneniny mena Petronia, ženského náprotivku rímskeho rodového mena Petronius. Pôvod mena Petronius nie je spoľahlivo objasnený. Tradičné spájanie mena Petronilla s gréckym pétros („skala“) a apoštolom Petrom vzniklo druhotne v kresťanskom prostredí a nemožno ho pokladať za pôvodnú etymológiu.
