Both names come from the same word (Petrus or Petros meaning rock). As you might expect, German “fist” and French “péter” for “fart” are distant cousins too: “pezd-” -> “fistiz” -> “vist” -> “fist” or “pezd-” -> “peditum” -> “pét” -> “péter”.

I love etymology! In terms of PIE that means that in “Peter farted five times fisted.”, 4 words have the same root.
