Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

Pierre is the French form of the name Peter, originally meaning stone or rock.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Pierre je francúzska podoba mena Peter, sprostredkovaná latinským Petrus z gréckeho osobného mena Petros (Πέτρος). Základom je grécke pétros (πέτρος), „kameň, skala“. Latinčina predstavuje sprostredkujúci jazyk, nie samostatný etymologický pôvod.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Skloňovanie a slovenský prepis výslovnosti: M. Ološtiak, Kultúra slova 42, 2008, č. 2, s. 79. Grécky pôvod: Nominis – Pierre. Domácka podoba Pierrot: Dictionnaire de l’Académie française. Uvádzam iba doloženú francúzsku zdrobneninu; 4–7 zaužívaných slovenských domáckych podôb mena Pierre sa nepodarilo overiť. Konkrétne heslo v monografii M. Majtána nebolo priamo overené.
