Pierre Origin and Meaning
The name Pierre is a boy's name of French origin meaning "rock, stone".
One of the most familiar — if not stereotypical — Gallic names. Pierre was a Top 5 name in France from the 19th century through 1940 and is now on a steady decline in its native land. In the US, Pierre was most common in the 1980s but it has never cracked the Top 300.
Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr welcomed a son named Pierre in 2024, which may boost its profile. She chose the name in honor of her grandfather, Peter.
