Peter is a name of Greek-Christian origin that entered Hebrew culture through contact with the Christian and Western world. The name derives from the Greek word 'Petros' meaning 'rock' or 'stone', expressing qualities of solidity, stability, and strength. In Hebrew, the name is written and pronounced 'Peter' and carries with it a rich tradition of faith, leadership, and loyalty. The name became famous primarily through the figure of Saint Peter, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, who is considered the founder of the Christian Church and the father of Christian faith. Despite its Christian origin, the name Peter has also been adopted among Jews, especially in Europe and in modern times, as an international name accepted in many cultures. In Jewish history, the name Peter does not appear in the Bible or in ancient Jewish sources, but it gained popularity among European Jews in recent centuries, particularly among families seeking international names that would allow them to integrate into general society. The name is perceived as dignified, strong, and possessing deep spiritual essence. The meaning 'the rock' gives the name a sense of solid foundation, of a person who can be relied upon and who serves as a pillar for his family and community. In Western culture, Peter is one of the most common and beloved names, appearing in literature, art, and history through numerous famous figures. Today, the name Peter carries an aura of classicism and elegance. It conveys a sense of maturity, responsibility, and natural leadership. Bearers of the name are often perceived as stable, reliable individuals with strong character. The name is particularly suitable for families seeking a name with deep meaning, a name that bridges ancient tradition with the modern world, and a name that will allow a child to integrate easily into international society.
