Delian (adj.)
1620s, "of Delos," tiny island in the Aegean, birthplace of Apollo and Artemis.
Delian problem "find the length of the side of a cube having double the volume of a given cube," was set by the oracle at Delos when it answered (430 B.C.E.) that the plague in Athens would end when Apollo's (cube-shaped) altar was doubled.
The Latin fem. form of the word became the proper name Delia.
1620年，得洛斯島（位于基克拉澤斯群島的中部，是基克拉澤斯群島的心臟），愛(ài)琴海上的一座小島，也是阿波羅（太陽(yáng)神）與阿爾忒彌斯（月神）的故鄉(xiāng)。
得洛斯問(wèn)題（倍立方體難題）：“求一個(gè)立方體的棱長(zhǎng)，使得它的體積等于一給定立方體體積的2倍”，是在公元前430年由得洛斯人的神諭中昭示著肆虐希臘的疫病*1只有把太陽(yáng)神阿波羅的神壇擴(kuò)建一倍時(shí)才會(huì)被遏制。
之后這個(gè)名詞在拉丁語(yǔ)中確定為Delia

Delia
*Delia is a feminine given name, either taken from an epithet of the Greek moon goddess Artemis or else representing a short form of Adelia, Bedelia, Cordelia or Odelia. *
Delia是一個(gè)女性的名字，無(wú)論是否來(lái)自于月神阿爾忒彌斯的綽號(hào)或者是Adelia, Bedelia, Cordelia 和Odelia的縮寫(xiě)。
According to records for the 1901 Irish census, there were 6,260 persons named Delia living that
year in all 32 counties of Ireland, with 256 more bearing the full forename Bedelia (plus 59 other persons with the variant spelling Bidelia, and 361 Biddy, 529 Bride and 153984 Bridget). These related names originated as English renderings of the Irish name Brighid (or Bríd) meaning "exalted one", which originally belonged to a pagan fertility goddess (later, to an important medieval saint).
根據(jù)1901年愛(ài)爾蘭人口統(tǒng)計(jì)報(bào)告，那一年在愛(ài)爾蘭的32個(gè)城市中有6260人叫Delia, 其中有256人全拼為Bedelia (加上59個(gè)Bidelia，361個(gè)Biddy, 529個(gè)Bride個(gè)153984個(gè)Bridget【注：Bridget凱爾特語(yǔ)中意為“力量”，昵稱(chēng)就是Biddy與Bride,這幾個(gè)名字都是以Bedelia為詞根的變化形式】這些相近的名字都來(lái)源于愛(ài)爾蘭名Bridhid(也叫Bríd)，意為“高貴”，來(lái)源于一個(gè)異教徒的掌管生育女神（后來(lái)，成為了一位中世紀(jì)重要的圣者的名字）
In most cases, however, the name Delia refers to the tiny Greek island of Delos (Ancient Greek: Δ?λο?), the birthplace of Artemis and her twin brother Apollo.
在大多數(shù)情況下，Delia這個(gè)名字指的是希臘的一座小島Delos（古希臘：Δ?λο?）、阿爾忒彌斯和她的孿生兄弟阿波羅的發(fā)源。

Brigid
Brigit, Brigid or Bríg (/?br?.d??d/, /?bri?.?d/, "exalted one") was a goddess of pre-Christian Ireland. She appears in Irish mythology as a member of the Tuatha Dé Danann, the daughter of the Dagda and wife of Bres, with whom she had a son named Ruadán.
Brigit, Brigid或者Brig (/?br?.d??d/, /?bri?.?d/, "高貴的")是信仰基督教之前，愛(ài)爾蘭的神明。她在愛(ài)爾蘭神話中作為T(mén)uatha Dé Danann【達(dá)南神族】的成員，Dagda的女兒，Bres的妻子，她有個(gè)兒子叫Ruadán
It has been suggested that Brigid is a continuation of the Indo-European dawn goddess. She is associated with the spring season, fertility, healing, poetry and smithcraft. Cormac's Glossary, written in the 10th century by Christian monks, says that Brigid was "the goddess whom poets adored" and that she had two sisters: Brigid the healer and Brigid the smith. This suggests she may have been a triple deity.
這表明，Brigid可能是印歐系神話系統(tǒng)中，黎明女神的衍生。她常常被春天，繁衍，治愈，詩(shī)歌以及鍛工聯(lián)系在一起。10世紀(jì)一位基督教的僧侶曾經(jīng)寫(xiě)到Brigid是“詩(shī)人所歌頌的女神”，她還有2個(gè)姐妹：治愈的Brigid和鐵匠之Brigid。這表明她可能是三位一體的女神。
Saint Brigid shares many of the goddess's attributes and her feast day was originally a pagan festival (Imbolc) marking the beginning of spring. It has thus been argued that the saint is a Christianization of the goddess.
圣Brigid有著許多神明的共性。她的節(jié)日起初是一個(gè)異教徒的節(jié)日（圣燭節(jié)）【注：圣布里基德節(jié)，凱爾特節(jié)日，每年2月1號(hào)或者2號(hào)】，用以慶祝春天的到來(lái)，也正因?yàn)槿绱?，被后世奉為基督教的神明?br> 圣燭節(jié)：https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imbolc
