Etymology

Curiously for a city founded by early Christians, Ceres was named for the Aroman goddess Ceres. It is believed that when Marcus Ebraius founded the city, he named it Ceres due to its central location in the prolific agricultural region of the Ceres Delta. As well, being a goddess of fertility, the name Ceres symbolized the birth of a new land to be settled by Aroman colonists.

Due to the pagan connotations of the name, a committee was established in 1986 by the government of president Jacobo Castello to possibly rename the city. Top proposals were Ebraropolis and Sancte Maria. However, the effort was eventually abandoned due to the continued popularity of the city's traditional name.
