Petes

Petes is primarily the plural form of the given name Pete, a common diminutive of Peter. As a proper noun, Petes may appear in contexts where Pete is used as a personal name or as part of a place, organization, or brand designation. The given name Pete itself derives from Peter, which originates from the Greek petros meaning "stone" or "rock."

The most prominent use of the term Petes in popular culture is as a nickname for the Peterborough Petes, a Canadian junior ice hockey team in the Ontario Hockey League based in Peterborough, Ontario. The team is commonly referred to simply as the Petes.

Apart from such uses, Petes may appear in other branding or fictional contexts where the form is chosen for stylistic reasons, but there is no single definition of Petes beyond its ties to Pete as a name.
