Peter is a common masculine given name. It is derived, via Latin "petra", from the Greek word πέτρος (''petros'') meaning "stone" or "rock".〔(MFnames.com - Origin and Meaning of Peter )〕 According to the New Testament, Jesus gave Saint Peter (whose given name was Simon) the name ''Kephas'' or ''Cephas'' meaning "stone" in Aramaic.〔(BehindtheName.com - Meaning, Origin and History of the Name Peter )〕 Saint Peter, according to ancient tradition, became the first bishop of Rome. Roman Catholics consider him to have been the first Pope and all subsequent popes to have been his successors, and therefore sometimes refer to the Pope or the Papacy itself as ''Peter''. ==In other languages== The following names can be interpreted as ''Peter'' in English. * Afrikaans: Pieter, Petrus * Albanian: Petro, Pjetër, Pjetri * Amharic: ጴጥሮስ ("Ṗeṭros") * Arabic: بطرس (''Buṭrus'') * Aragonese: Pietro, Pero, Piero, Pier. * Azerbaijani: Pyotr * Armenian: Պետրոս (''Bedros'' in Western dialect, ''Petros'' in Eastern dialect) * Asturian: Pedru * Basque: Peru, Pello (diminutive), Pedro, Piarres, Petri (Biblical), Kepa (neologism) * Belarusian: Пётр (''Piotr''), Пятро (''Piatro''), Пятрусь (''Piatruś'') * Breton: Pêr * Bulgarian: Петър (''Petər''), Пере, Перо (''Pere, Pero''), Петьо, Петю (''Petyo, Petyu''), Пеньо, Пеню, Пенко (''Penyo, Penyu, Penko''), Пельо, Пелю, Пелко (''Pelyo, Pelyu, Pelko''), Пешо (''Pesho''); Камен (''Kamen'') ("kamen, kamək" in Bulgarian means: stone) * Catalan: Pere * Cebuano: Pedro * Standard Chinese: * * Protestant: 彼得 (''Bǐdé'') * * Catholic: 伯多祿 (''Bóduōlù'') * Cornish: Peder * Croatian: Petar, Pero, Peiša, Pera, Pejo, Nino * Czech: Petr * Danish: Peter, Peder, Per, Peer, Pelle * Dutch: Pieter, Peter (''Note: The form "Peer" also occurs, albeit less commonly.
