Trófimos

This name derives from the Ancient Greek “trophḗ (τροφή),” meaning “nourishment, food, a meal,” which in turn derives from “tréphō (τρέφω),” meaning “to maintain, support.” The Church of St. Trophime (Trophimus) is a Roman Catholic Church and the former cathedral built between the 12th-century and the 15th century in the city of Arles, in the Bouches-du-Rhône department of southern France. Trofimena is a female saint canonized in the Roman Catholic Church. Originally from the town of Patti in Sicily (and closely connected to the figure of Saint Febronia), the relics of Trofimena are venerated in the basilica in the village of Minori, Italy on the coast of Amalfi, southern Italy. According to Catholic lore, Saint Trophimus of Arles (also called Trophime) was the first bishop of Arles, in today’s southern France. The feast day is traditionally celebrated on November 5.
