Re: Maro?
That's very interesting - thank you. Do you know if the origin of the given name is from either or both of those? Was the saint named for the village?- Jen

Which came first the village or the saint?, Unsure on this one the village dates back to early christian era, with a roman fort being built, On the other hand the saint died in 435AD also early christian era so could be one or other or both.
