The Pedder surname in historical dictionaries
Patronymica Britannica (1860)
PEDDER. In various English dialects signifies a Pedlar; but it must not bo regarded as a corruption of that word ; a 2Jc'd, in the eastern counties, means a species of hamper without a lid, for the conveyance of fish, eggs, chicken, &c. ; and the person who traflics in such small articles is therefore very properly styled a Pedder. See Halliwell.
