Hibernia
''Hibernia'' () is the Classical Latin name for Ireland. The name ''Hibernia'' was taken from Greek geographical accounts. During his exploration of northwest Europe (c. 320 BC), Pytheas of Massalia called the island ''Iérnē'' (written ). In his book ''Geographia'' (c. 150 AD), Claudius Ptolemaeus ("Ptolemy") called the island ''Iouerníā'' (written , where "ου"/''ou'' stands for ''w''). The Roman historian Tacitus, in his book ''Agricola'' (c. 98 AD), uses the name Hibernia. ''Iouerníā'' was a Greek rendering of the Q-Celtic name *''Īweriū'', from which eventually arose the Irish names ''Ériu'' and ''Éire''. The name was altered in Latin (influenced by the word '' hībernus'') as though it meant "land of winter", although the word for winter began with a long 'i'. Post-Roman usage The High King Brian Boru (c. 941–1014) based his title on being Emperor of the Scoti, which was in Latin ''Imperator Scottorum'', emperor of the Gaels. From 1172, the Lordship of ...

Hibernia Bank Building (San Francisco)
The Hibernia Bank, headquartered in San Francisco, California, was founded in April 1859 as the Hibernia Savings and Loan Society. In 1892, the company built a Beaux-Arts headquarters at 1 Jones Street at the corner of McAllister and Market Streets, designed by Albert Pissis. Slightly damaged in the 1906 earthquake and fire, it re-opened again just five weeks after the calamity; Pissis designed an addition to the building in 1908. The bank left the building in 1985, and, after a brief period in which it was used by the San Francisco Police Department, the building was vacant for decades, until it was restored and renovated in 2016. As of 2017, the building, re-branded as "The Hibernia", is being subdivided for leasing to tenants who need less than the building's overall of space. The Hibernia Bank Building is a designated San Francisco landmark.

Hibernia (personification)
Hibernia as a national personification representing Ireland appeared in numerous cartoons and drawings, especially in the nineteenth century. As depicted in frequent cartoons in ''Punch'', a magazine outspokenly hostile to Irish nationalism, Hibernia was shown as "Britannia's younger sister". She is an attractive, vulnerable girl. She is threatened by manifestations of Irish nationalism such as the Fenians or the Irish National Land League, often depicted as brutish, ape-like monsters. Unable to defend herself, Hibernia is depicted turning to the strong, armoured Britannia for defence. John Tenniel, now mainly remembered as the illustrator of ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'', produced a number of such depictions of Hibernia. At times nationalist publications (such as the Land League and Parnell's ''United Ireland'' newspaper) did use the image of Hibernia. However, possibly because of the pro-union publications' adoption of the "helpless" image of Hibernia, nationalist publ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hibernia (locomotive)
''Hibernia'' was a steam locomotive designed by Richard Roberts and built by Sharp, Roberts and Company in 1834 for the Dublin and Kingstown Railway (D&KR).

The D&KR engaged John Urpeth Rastrick who had been judge at the 1830 Rainhill Trials to visit the manufacturers. Rastrick visited six as well as the L&MR works and delivered to board a specification which strongly matched the L&MR No. 32 ''Experiment'' from Sharp, Roberts and Co. D&KR's Bergin visited the L&MR and expressed concerns over ''Experiment's'' unique features, vibrations and fuel consumption. The D&KR's consultant engineer Charles ...
