How do you say Peter in Arabic?

There isn't a direct equivalent of the name "Peter" in Arabic that carries the same meaning and cultural weight. Arabic names typically have meanings associated with them. To translate the name, one would need to find an Arabic name with a similar meaning or sound.

However, you can transliterate Peter into Arabic script, which would be بيتر (Bītar). This is just a phonetic representation and doesn't carry any inherent Arabic meaning.

To find a more culturally appropriate Arabic name, you'd need to consider what aspect of the name "Peter" is most important:

* If you want a similar sound: Names like بطرس (Butrus) are often used as translations; it's a common Arabic name with Greek origins and means "rock" or "stone", similar to one of the meanings attributed to Peter (from the Greek "Petros").

* If you want a similar meaning: You could choose an Arabic name that means "rock," "stone," or a related concept of strength or steadfastness. There are many options depending on the specific nuance you want to convey.

Therefore, while بيتر (Bītar) is a transliteration, بطرس (Butrus) is a more culturally appropriate and meaningful equivalent.
