Meaning & History

Latinized form of Smaragdos. This name was borne by at least two saints. One was a companion of saint Cyriacus (died c. 303 AD), who was buried together with him near the Via Ostiensis. The other was one of the forty martyrs of Sebaste (which is nowadays Sivas in Turkey), who died in 320 AD.
