Cestrian

/ˈsɛstriən/ adjective

Definition

Relating to Chester, England, or its Roman name Deva Victrix.

Etymology

From Cestria, the Latin name for the Chester region in Roman Britain, with the suffix -ian meaning 'of or relating to.'

Kelly Says

Chester's Roman name 'Cestria' comes from the Latin for camp or fort (castra)—so 'Cestrian' literally means 'of the camp,' and the city still has some of the best-preserved Roman walls in Britain!
