ArchivesRe: Cannot define or translate name "Piedra"
in reply to a message by J. P.
Not sure ... but it definitely looks like a form of 'Peter' ...and there are, of course, innumerable varieties of that word, which would ultimately mean 'rock'...to the best of my knowledge.

Naming someone "piedra" would look as dumb as calling him baptizing him "Stone", the Spanish Name is "Pedro"... It could be seen like a surname however... Pretty much like there is "Olivier Stone" but I haven't seen it as a surname by itself... I've seen it in surnames like "De la Piedra" which means "from the stone" or "of the stone"
