In the time of St. Andrew, second names were not used. He would have been known as Andrew Barjona - Andrew Son of Jonah. This practice continued even into fairly recent times, especially in the Scandinavian countries. The modern name 'Johnson' means John's Son - son of John.
Simon Peter was referred to by Jesus in Matthew 16:17 as Simon Barjona. Bar means "son of" so Simon Peter's father's name was Jona.
Peter's original name was Simon Barjona - Simon son of Jona. Last names were not in use at the time so people were distinguished by connecting them to their father or to their place of origin, such as Mary of Magdala who we now call Mary Magdalene.
Matthew 16:16,17 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
In Jewish custom, a son has a given name and then 'bar' meaning son of and then the father's name. For Peter, he was the son of Jonah (Jona)Matthew 16:17New King James Version (NKJV)17 Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.
The designation 'pope' did not come for many years later. However, Catholics consider this to be the point at which Peter was appointed to fill the leadership position. In Matthew, Chapter 16, starting with verse 17:And Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven."…
