Could be a Cyrillic D, which would make the P an R

Don't know a Redo word though which says more of my Russian vocab rather than whether the word exists
Middlesex: KING,  MUMFORD, COOK, ROUSE, GOODALL, BROWN
Oxford: MATTHEWS, MOSS
Kent: SPOONER, THOMAS, KILLICK, COLLINS
Cambs: PRIGG, LEACH
Hants: FOSTER
Montgomery: BREES
Surrey: REEVE

In the same place that you found that  name, did you also find its Port of Registration,  such as Gdansk, Murmansk,  Alexandria, Liverpool etc?

Or   do you know which flag she flies?

Could the name translate as "Peter"
