Both words are ultimately derived from the Greek verb πείθω (peitho) meaning "to persuade, to convince" as well as "to obey, to yield to" and "to believe, to trust (in)". The second element of this name is derived from the Greek noun δίκη (dike) meaning "justice, judgement" as well as "custom, usage".This is the name of several characters in Greek mythology, most of whom are princesses.
