Ceres

Ceres is a girl’s name of Italic origin. In Roman mythology, Ceres is the goddess of agriculture, grain crops, fertility, and motherly relationships. Her name means “to grow” or “increase,” deriving from the Indo-European root *ker-. She was celebrated during several festivals throughout the year, including the Eleusinian Mysteries, Cerealia, and the Thesmophoria. If you’d like a Roman name that expresses gratitude for the nourishment that nature and hard-working hands provide, Ceres may just be the one.
