Reply to: Cannot define or translate name "Piedra" by J. P.
Piedra is a Spanish word for "stone", in Italian the word is similar: Pietra. The two words come from a latin word "petra".
So it is for the first name PETER, PEDRO or PIETRO.
The Russian form of Peter is PIOTR and the surname coming from PIOTR is PETROV, a very common surname in Russia.
I don't know which is the russian word for stone

I hope this information will be useful to you.

Bye
Giacomo
