cephas
As far as I know this is from the Bible. It must be the name given to Simon, meaning 'rock'.

Peter
If it's found in the Bible it means Peter since Peter is the Greek version of Cephas (Aramaic word for rock). Cephas was - as already mentioned - a name given to the apostle Simon by Jesus because he was to be the rock upon which the Christian church was to be built.
New Testament, John, Chapter 1:
1:42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said,
Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is
by interpretation, A stone.
