Πέτρος

Pétros

Peter

Proper name, meaning 'rock, stone.' Πέτρος denotes a detached mass of rock or a stone, often larger or more substantial than λίθος (a smaller stone or pebble). In the New Testament, it is chiefly used as the given name for Simon, one of the leading members of Jesus's disciples, to whom this appellation is attributed as a nickname or symbolic name. The core sense is 'rock,' but in most contexts the term is a personal name. The use of Πέτρος is closely associated with the idea of stability, firmness, or foundational character, deriving from the physical imagery of a large stone or rock.
