Typical of the Parma area, it could derive from a dialectal nickname originated from the word pettinare, understood perhaps in the sense of having received a rip-off. We find this surname in Vercelli at the end of the 15th century with Gaspare Pettenati who in 1511 ordered the building of the choir for the abbey of Sant'Andrea in Vercelli.
