:''For the place in Adelaide, South Australia, see Rostrevor, South Australia. Rostrevor is a village and townland in County Down, Northern Ireland. It is within the Newry and Mourne District Council area. It lies at the foot of Slieve Martin on the coast of Carlingford Lough. The Kilbroney River flows through the village. Rostrevor had a population of 2,433 in the 2001 Census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rostrevor (Newry and Mourne, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom) - population statistics, map and location )〕 The village is known for its folk music festival, (Fiddler's Green Festival ). ==Name== Rostrevor was named by Sir Edward Trevor from Denbighshire, who settled in the area in the early 17th century〔(Placenames NI: Rostrevor )〕 and was succeeded by his son Marcus Trevor, who became Viscount Dungannon. While it is accepted that the ''trevor'' part of the name derives from Edward's surname, there is confusion over the first element ''ros''.〔 Walter Harris writing in 1744 and Samuel Lewis writing in 1838 both attest the ''ros'' element as deriving from the name of Edward Trevor's wife Rose, a daughter of Henry Ussher, Archbishop of Armagh, whom he married in 1612.〔 Hamilton, writing in 1915, discounts both and claims that Edward Trevor adopted the word ''ros'' (from (アイルランド語:rois)) meaning "wood", as it was very suitable for the area.〔 Harold O'Sullivan states that Trevor named the area after he got married to his second wife Rose Trevor, and that the name was corrupted over time into ''Rostrevor''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Raymonds County Down )〕 Adding to the confusion is the usage in the past of ''Rostrevor'', ''Rosstrevor'', and ''Rosetrevor'' to refer to the area.〔 Today the spelling ''Rostrevor'' is used for the village, while the spelling ''Rosstrevor'' is used for the townland the village resides in. Before Edward Trevor's renaming of the area it was formerly known as ''Caisleán Ruairí'' ((英語:Rory's castle)).〔 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「Rostrevor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
