Amorim is a Portuguese parish and former civil parish, located in Póvoa de Varzim. In the census of 2001, it had a population of 2,856 inhabitants and a total area of 5.65 km². In 2013, it was amalgamated in the civil parish known as União das Freguesias de Aver-o-Mar, Amorim e Terroso. Amorim is derived from Latin, and means ''dating/love or couples place''. The Portuguese surnames ''Amorim'' and ''Morim'' can be traced to this parish, and are among the most common surnames in the city, but especially in this parish. Amorim is popular in the city for its bread, characteristically eaten at high temperatures just after being made – the ''Broa de Amorim''. ==History== The parish is known to exist from, at least, the 11th century onwards. The name of the parish ''Santiago de Amorim'' first appeared in 1033. Amorim belonged to Barcelos until 1836 when it was transferred to Vila do Conde. Póvoa de Varzim and Vila do Conde made parish transfers in 1853, and Amorim was made part of Póvoa de Varzim since then. In 1922, the locality of A Ver-o-Mar became an independent parish. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amorim, Póvoa de Varzim」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
