ArchivesSinforosa, Symphorosa
On my trip out to the Southwest, I encountered the name Sinforosa in a graveyard. Searching on the internet has led me to understand that it's a Latin form of the name Symphorosa, as in St. Symphorosa, but I have been unable to find a meaning for either name from a reputable site. Any help would be much appreciated!

A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

Sinforosa comes from the medieval Latin Symphorosa, adaptation of the Greek Óýìöùñïò, from the adjective óýìöùñïò, "harmonious, unanimous, friendly".

Speculation: Greek roots?
Sym: together
Phoros: in the word 'metaphor', the "phor" element is from the Greek pherein, meaning "to carry, to bear"
