Vejas,
Peter means rock. For you Bible scholars, Peter became the "rock" of the
Catholic church, and all the derivatives of Peter (Petra, Petras, etc.)
mean rock in any language. My married name, Pollpeter, means rock by the
water, though nowadays many find the name funny and snicker. For those
who don't get it, think pull like pulling a cart and then think of how
Peter is often used in slang terms. Yeah, lots of immature people,
ha-ha!
Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

Wow, how did you know that it's rock? Petras's name is Peter in
Lithuanian, but it also means rock.
