    The Story Behind Glikeriya

    Glikeriya is a name of Greek origin, derived from the word 'glykeros' (γλυκερός), meaning 'sweet'. It is the Slavic form of the Greek name Glykeria. The name has a long history, particularly within Eastern Orthodox Christian traditions, due to Saint Glykeria of Heraclea, a virgin martyr who lived in the 2nd century AD. Her feast day is celebrated on May 13th.
