Maybe it is from Vretas (ÂÑÅÔÁÓ) meaning wooden statue or idol (like the ancient Greeks worshipped) or wooden icon (like the modern Greeks do). In ancient Greek, Vretas was also a methaphor for stupidity :)

Dont worry, your name is an anagram of *Papua Kola* a favorite soft drink of our South Pacific friends.
