Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Piotr je poľská podoba mena Peter. Jeho východiskom je grécke meno Pétros (Πέτρος), utvorené z apelatíva pétra (πέτρα) vo význame „skala“. V kresťanskej tradícii sa spája s apoštolom Šimonom, ktorému Ježiš dal aramejské prímeno Kéfas s rovnakým významom; v gréčtine bolo vyjadrené menom Pétros.
