Talk:Petrel (disambiguation)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Etymology

“although the two words have the same etymological origin, coming from the Ancient Greek word petra, meaning "rock".” Petrel says it’s a reference to St. Peter, so I checked it on Etymology Online, expecting it to support the less fanciful explanation, but it doesn’t even mention rock. -Ahruman 11:03, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
