Piet is a male given name of Dutch origin, used in some contexts as a surname or traditional form. It is typically pronounced with a single syllable and a short, high vowel sound, often anglicized as “Pete.” In Dutch, the name is pronounced with a long e-like vowel and a final dental stop, but in English-speaking contexts it commonly becomes a monosyllable with a clear /iː/ or /i/ sound. The name carries cultural and religious associations in Dutch communities.
