minus-squarebetterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 month agoBoth names come from the same word (Petrus or Petros meaning rock). As you might expect, German “fist” and French “péter” for “fart” are distant cousins too: “pezd-” -> “fistiz” -> “vist” -> “fist” or “pezd-” -> “peditum” -> “pét” -> “péter”.
