Quiteriaとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Saint Quiteria (Spanish: Quiteria, Catalan: Quitèria, Occitan: Quiteira, French: Quitterie, Portuguese: Quitéria, Tamil: Kitheriammal) was a 5th century virgin martyr and saint. Nothing is certain about Quiteria except her name and her cult. Her name appears in the Roman Martyrology, but not in any other ancient calendars (such as the Martyrologium Hieronymianum). Her name is a title that the Phoenicians gave to the goddess Astarte: Kythere, Kyteria, or Kuteria, which means "the red one.", which some take to mean that she might be a fictional saint. She may also have been named after the pagan goddess.
