Simon."Peter" (Aramaic: Cephas or Greek: Petros) means literally means "rock" in Koine Greek, the language which the New Testament was written. It was not a regular name at the time, but Jesus made it so by changing Simon's name to Peter. The Greek words petrosand petra where masculine and feminine forms of the same word in Koine Greek. In Attic Greek they were two different words but that was not the language of the New Testament.
