"Pedro" meaning in Spanish

See Pedro in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /ˈpedɾo/, [ˈpe.ð̞ɾo]
Rhymes: -edɾo Etymology: 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.
