OR:

The Virgin of Nuria (Catalan ''Mare de Déu de Núria'') is a popular Roman Catholic shrine in the Valley of Nuria. The Catalan girls' name Núria ( es, Nuria) derives from the shrine.Marc Dubin The Rough Guide to the Pyrenees - Page 176 2004 - The Virgin of Nuria, of more general appeal, is believed to bestow fertility on female pilgrims, and many Catalan girls - presumably the result of successful supernatural intervention - are named after her."
