Subject: Cannot define or translate name "Piedra"

This name I take to be of Spanish descent, and it most likely is. I first intended to get an equivalent of this name in Russian, but not as simply a word but a traditional patronymic--basically, the way a Russian would derive this name. However, I'm having trouble simply figuring out what it means. If someone could either a) just translate it into a Russian patronymic or b) tell me what it means, I would be grateful. Also, if someone knows the patronymic form in Russian of the name "Pyotr" or the other form (which is not a pet name; i forgot the exact name of this other form), i would also be grateful to them.
