PETER Gender: Masculine Usage: English, German, Dutch, Scandinavian, Slovene, Slovak, Biblical Pronounced: PEE-tur (English), PE-ter (German, Slovak), PAY-tur (Dutch) [key] Derived from the Greek ΠετÏος (Petros) meaning "stone". This is a translation used in most versions of the New Testament of the name Cephas(meaning "stone" in Aramaic) which was given to the apostle Simon by Jesus (compare Matthew 16:18 and John 1:42). Simon Peter was the most prominent of the apostles during Jesus's ministry and is considered by some to be the first pope. This name was borne by Peter the Great, the czar of Russia who defeated Sweden in the Great Northern War in the 18th century. A famous fictional bearer is Peter Pan, the boy who refused to grow up in J. M. Barrie's play.
