The apostle Peter is often referred to as "the rock." This nickname comes from Jesus' declaration in the New Testament, specifically in Matthew 16:18, where He says, "You are Peter, and on this rock, I will build my church." The name "Peter" itself is derived from the Greek word "petros," meaning "rock."
