Names for Rock / Stone
My name is Peter which means Stone if I recall. While there are many variations of this name in many languages, I'm curious if there were any other names that meant stone or rock, or anything of that nature?Alan is close, it seems to mean a small rock. I'm curious if there's any other equivalent
