Pierre
Pierre is a masculine given name. It is a
French form of the name
Peter. Pierre originally meant "rock" or "stone" in French (derived from the Greek word πέτρος (''petros'') meaning "stone, rock", via Latin "petra"). It is a translation of
Aramaic כיפא (''Kefa),'' the nickname
Jesus gave to apostle
Simon Bar-Jona, referred in English as
Saint Peter. Pierre is also found as a surname.
