Question: What Biblical name means “rock”?
Answer: Peter or Cephas. (John 1:42)
Comments: Peter's given name was Simon but Jesus renamed him Peter. (Matthew 16:18, John 1:42) Cephas is the Aramaic equivalent of the Greek Petros. Both names literally mean "rock." As such, Peter's name could accurately be translated "Rocky".
He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon the son of John; you shall be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter). (John 1:42, NASB)
