Pierre is a masculine given name. It is a French form of the name Peter.[1] Pierre originally meant "rock" or "stone" in French (derived from the Greek word πέτρος (petros) meaning "stone, rock", via Latin "petra"). It is a translation of Aramaic כיפא (Kefa), the nickname Jesus gave to apostle Simon Bar-Jona, referred in English as Saint Peter. Pierre is also found as a surname.

As a nickname, "Pierre" can be shortened to "Pierrot" ('Little Pierre'; name of a famous pantomime character) or "Pier" ('Pete').
