Help[Facts] Re: Help with French Religous Names
in reply to a message by lala
This is a great list from which to work:
http://www.catholic.org/saints/stindex.php
That site has every major saint and most minors. Unfortunately, most names are in English no matter the country of origin. To circumvent this you can use the search feature to look up 'french' or 'france.' Of course there are grey areas: proto-French Gaul, pseudo-French Brittany, and quintessentially French saints who were born abroad (Fiacre, Ronan).
