The world "pedigree" comes from the french "pied de grue," as branching family tree diagrams were thought to resemble a crane's foot.
The English surname Pettigrew has the same origin as pedigree. Harry Potter fans might recall that Peter Pettigrew took care of Voldmort (the devil himself) and that he later hid himself as Ron's rat, Scabbers.
