Shalom, the greek has Kefas, that is the aramaic Kefa (rock), and Kefa was also called Petros. Petros is also an aramaic name, is not only greek, and in aramaic means "first-born", i think this is why the jews that didnt believed in Yeshua (because many of them did believed), called him Peter Chamor (firstborn ass). Petros is also in the aramaic, for example in the Talmud Yerushalmi Megilla, fol. 75. 2, talks about Yos?f bar Petros. Kefas was also called Shimon and in the Jerusalem dialect Simon (See-mon).
