== Brief History on its Etymology == *According to the ''(History of Free Masonry, Volume 6 )'', Heredia is a name derived from Herod the Great and his Herodian Kingdom. *According to Belgian economist Émile Louis Victor de Laveleye, the Heredium (singular) or Heredia (plural) was known as "land transmitted hereditarily". *According to researcher Flavius Josephus, ''heredium'' was a name given to a costly citadel in memory of Herod's great actions, as Herod "adorned it with the most costly palaces, and erected very strong fortifications" ((The Genuine Works of Flavius Josephus ), page 48). *In the Ancient Rome study, (''The Roman Garden: Space, Sense, and Society'' ) by (Katharine T. Von Stackelberg ), the heredium symbolized "the continuity between one generation of citizens and the next". *Heredia is a plural of an Ancient Roman unit of measurement, whose singular form is ''Heredium'', which is approximately equivalent to (1.246 acres or 5060 square meters ). Therefore, as in many Roman words that end with -edia, (example: media, encyclopedia, logopedia, orthopedia, etc.), heredia is plural in significance. *According to Harvard University, Harvard's (Archimedes Project ), a scholarly research on the "history of mechanics and engineering from antiquity to the Renaissance" (Harvard), quotes etymological roots of Heredia from Latin as having various meanings including: '' * heredipeta: the next heir. * hereditamentum: hereditament, all property that may be inherited. * hereditare: to cause to inherit. * hereditas: an inheritance. 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「Heredia (etymology)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
