Background to Pen Name Patrasedit]

Ahmed Shah Bokhari first started using a pen name Peter, in respect of his teacher Peter Watkins, when he wrote in English. In his Urdu writings he used the pen name Patras.
According to Khaled Ahmed, in his article The House of Patras which appeared in The Friday Times, Lahore, on 13 May 1999, Patras is a Persian adaptation of an Arabic rendering of ‘Peter’.
An extract from Z.A. Bokhari’s autobiography about the orientation of ASB’s pen-name is :
“My brother’s full name was Pir Syed Ahmed Shah Bokhari. Our headmaster (in Peshawar) Mr. Watkins addressed him by his first name ‘Pir’ but pronounced it as ‘Pierre’ as if it was a French word. Pierre in French stands for Peter, which is Patras in Greek…. As a result of this similarity, my brother took up ‘Patras’ as his pen-name”.[SUP][7]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patras_Bokhari#cite_note-patrasbokhari.com-7)[/SUP]

But very good explanation.
