Tallanusとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Saint Tallanus is thought to have been a Cornish saint. It is claimed that he was a religious hermit in the 5th century and lived at Talland between Polperro and Looe. The church of Talland, which is believed to be a 5th-century foundation, is consecrated in his honour – the only one in Britain – and one explanation of the word 'Talland' is that it is a derivation of his name. However, the name St Tallanus first appears in documents in the 15th century and there is some evidence to suggest that he was an invention of that period.
