Kentigern ((ウェールズ語:Cyndeyrn Garthwys); (ラテン語:Kentigernus)), known as Mungo, was an apostle of the British Kingdom of Strathclyde in the late 6th century, and the founder and patron saint of the city of Glasgow. ==Name== In Wales and England, this saint is known by his birth and baptismal name Kentigern ((ウェールズ語:Cyndeyrn)). This name probably comes from the British *''Cuno-tigernos'', which is composed of the elements *''cun'', a hound, and *''tigerno'', a lord, prince, or king. The evidence is based on the Old Welsh record ''Conthigirn(i)''. Other etymologies have been suggested, including British *''Kintu-tigernos'' 'chief prince' based on the English form Kentigern, but the Old Welsh form above and Old English ''Cundiʒeorn'' do not appear to support this.〔It may also be worth noting that the Welsh ''cynt'' and Cornish and Breton equivalents mean 'sooner, earlier, prior' and not 'chief' as is assumed by the derivation. Suggestions that the name may derive from British *''Kon-tigern'' with *''kom-'' 'with' (= Latin ''com-, con-, co-'') are unfounded. The element is barely known in Brythonic personal names and the meaning 'co-prince' or 'our ruler' (sic.) seems unlikely as a birth name. Moreover, the Brit. ''Kontigernos'' would have rendered Welsh * *''Cynteyrn'' which does not occur.〕 Particularly in Scotland, he is known by the pet name Mungo, possibly derived from the Cumbric equivalent of the (ウェールズ語:fy nghu) 'my dear (one)'.〔However the meaning is disputed; as noted in Donald Attwater's ''The Penguin Dictionary of Saints'', Penguin, Harmondsworth, 1965; p. 213〕 An ancient church in Bromfield is named after him, as are Crosthwaite Parish Church and some other churches in the northern part of Cumberland. 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「Saint Mungo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
