Name Root:
kefa > Kēphâs > pétrā > Pétros > Petrus
Meaning:*
This name derives from Latin “petra” (Petrus), from the Ancient Greek “pétrā ‎(πέτρᾱ) Pétros (Πέτρος),” from the Aramaic word “kephas,” which in turn derives from the Syriac “kefa,” all words meaning “stone, rock” (figurative meaning: reliable, stable and resolute). Saint Peter, according to ancient tradition, was a prominent early Christian leader, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, according to the New Testament. He is venerated as a saint and considered by the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox Church, and Oriental Orthodoxy to be the first bishop of Rome and the first Pope. Roman Catholics believe 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.
