This form was first attested in 1387: ''Santa Ougea de Ribeira''. On the other hand, ''Uxía'', Old Galician ''Ougia'', is the local evolution of the name Eugenia; hence ''Santa Uxía'' means ''Saint Eugenia''. The local church of Saint Eugenia is first recorded in a document dated in 1200, as ''Sancte Eugenie de Carraria''. 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「Ribeira, Galicia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
