Magus doesnt translate as Peter. Sure your name isnt Brown? Adios!But "Peter" does translate into "Pater" meaning "Father" and Simon Magus, as Irenaeus notes, is the Father [Pater] of all Gnosticism. Vaya con Dios --

“Peter”also refers to the male organ, at least in vulgar English. I can imagine what some fantasist could make of that. Goodbye.

But "Peter" does translate into "Pater" meaning "Father" Huh? "Peter" in Latin is "Petrus". You can see that for yourself if you go to St. Peter's and look up at the frieze around the base of the dome, which has "You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my church" in both Greek and Latin.
