Pedro

Meaning

Of Greek origin, meaning "stone" or "rock".

Origin and History

  • · From Greek Petros, "rock", a translation of Aramaic Kefa (Cephas), the surname Jesus gives Simon in the Gospel: "You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church".
  • · Because of that biblical line, it underlies the name of the first pope and the papacy itself in Catholic tradition.
