Péter is the Hungarian form of Peter, derived from the Greek name Petros meaning 'rock' or 'stone.' This name carries significant historical and cultural importance in Hungary, where it has consistently remained popular throughout the centuries. The accented 'é' creates a slightly different pronunciation from the English Peter, with the first syllable emphasized (PAY-ter). Péter appears frequently in Hungarian history, literature, and contemporary culture. Many notable Hungarian scientists, athletes, musicians, and political figures have borne this name. While primarily used in Hungary and among Hungarian diaspora communities, Péter maintains its classical origins while offering a distinctive European variation on the more widely known Peter. The name projects strength, stability, and cultural heritage.
