RootΠέτρος (Petros)
Core Meaningsrock, stone mass, rocky man (as a name)
Semantic Rangerock, stone mass, rocky outcrop; as a personal name, Peter (Petros), emphasizing firmness or foundational character
Conceptual SignificanceAs the name given to Simon by Jesus, Πέτρος (“Rock”) carries symbolic weight, evoking stability and foundational strength. The genitive form often marks relational identity in early assemblies (e.g., letters or actions associated with Peter), reinforcing his role among the apostles.
Morphological NotesNoun, genitive masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,GMS,). Proper name derived from πέτρα/πέτρος (“rock”), here indicating possession, source, or close association.
Rendering RationaleThe lemma Πέτρος means “rock” or “rock-mass” and functions as the proper name Petros. The genitive masculine singular form Πέτρου is rendered “of Rock (Petros)” to preserve both the underlying meaning of the name and the grammatical sense of possession or association expressed by the genitive case.
