Truroとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

Perhaps from Cornish try (“three, very”) + berow (“a boiling”), meaning "(a place of) great water turbulence", where the two fast rivers of Allen and Kenwyn meet to form the Truro. Alternatively, from the Gaulish tribal name Treveri, from Celtic trē ("through") + uer ("water, wet"), meaning "water crossing", in reference to "the people of the river crossing". The town in Nova Scotia is named after the city in England.
