Etymologie (Engels)

In summary

Inherited from Old Spanish Pedro, from Latin Petrus, from Ancient Greek Πέτρος (Pétros), from πέτρος (pétros, “stone, rock”), related to πέτρα (pétra) (compare piedra). The lack of diphthongization of the short stressed /ɛ/ in Latin to /je/, which would have yielded *Piedro, is irregular.
