More obvious in Italian ;-) Pietro=Peter, Pietra=Rock. i.e. The name Peter is derived from stone or rock. Allthougth I'm sure some highbrow could give you a more fundamental Latin or Greek explanation! In Greek: Petros = Peter = Rock[1] hence 'petrified' etc. Theo (not claiming to be highbrow, just Greek :-) [1] In Modern Greek rock is 'petra' (feminine). It's not 'stone', which is 'lithos' (eg lithography) |
