Deva ((:ˈdeva); Hungarian: ''Déva'', Hungarian pronunciation: ; German: ''Diemrich'', ''Schlossberg'', ''Denburg''; Latin: ''Sargetia''; Turkish: ''Deve'', ''Devevar'') is a city in Romania, in the historical region of Transylvania, on the left bank of the Mureș River. It is the capital of Hunedoara County. ==Name== Its name was first recorded in 1269 as castrum ''Dewa''. The origin of the name gave rise to controversy. Some thought that the name is of old Turkic origin from the name Gyeücsa.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Tekintő – Erdélyi Helynévkönyv )(Transylvanian Toponym Book ) 〕 Others assert that the name is probably of Slavic origin where ''Deva'' or ''Devín'' means "girl" or "maiden". A similar case exist in Slovak for the Devín Castle, located at the confluence of the Danube and Great Morava, on former town of Devín (now a suburb of Bratislava). It is also considered that the name comes from the ancient Dacian word ''dava'', meaning "fortress" (as in ''Pelendava'', ''Piroboridava'', or ''Zargidava''). Other theories trace the name to a Roman Legion, the Legio II Augusta, transferred to Deva from Castrum Deva, now Chester (''Deva Victrix'') in Britain. Additionally dava 'town' derived from the reconstructed proto-Indo-European *dhewa 'settlement' . On medieval maps ''Deva'' appears as: ''Dewan'' (first mention), ''Deva'', or later ''Diemrich''. 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「Deva, Romania」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
