Ceres, ScotlandCeres is a village in Fife, Scotland. Origin of name In The Place Names of Fife and Kinross, by WM Liddall (Wm Green & Sons, 1896) it was suggested that Ceres was derived from the Norse syr + reit = enclosure for swine. It was suggested that it might be connected with St Cyrus. There is no reference to a St Cyrus in the Penguin Dictionary of Saints other than Cyrus of Alexandria (c303). The village of St Cyrus, Kincardineshire, seems to have been named after St Cyr or Ciricus (Quiricus) martyr of Tarsus. The 1882 Ordnance Gazetteer says St Cyr was Ceres pre-Reformation saint. Ceres Games The Games are said to date back to Bannockburn. They are also said to have been held every year since 1314.
