In the 13th century, the spelling Turia appears, and in the 14th century Thûr, Tûr. The name has been interpreted as an Old European hydronymy, Old European hydronym, from *durâ or *duriâ “river” from the Indo-European root *dhu “to run, to hurry”. Turgowe, a village in the Duchy of Alamannia, was named after a body of water. The first mention of the village is slightly older than the earliest mention of the body of water.

Gustave Thuret
Gustave Adolphe Thuret (23 May 1817 – 10 May 1875) was a French botanist, and founder of the Jardin botanique de la Villa Thuret. Biography Born in Paris, he belonged to an old Huguenot family, which had sought refuge in Weesp (Dutch Republic) after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. In 1808 his father, a merchant and banker, married in London Henrietta van der Paadevoort (Padevoirt), the daughter of a navy officer, born in Demerara (now Guyana), but brought up or educated in England. In 1811 the family moved from Bath to Paris, where Isaac Thuret was appointed as the Dutch consul. As a young man Gustave studied Law, while being an amateur musician, and it was from a musical friend, de Villers, that he received, in 1837, his first initiation into botany. Beginning simply as a collector, he soon came under the influence of Joseph Decaisne, whose pupil he became. It was Decaisne who first encouraged him to undertake those algological studies which were to become the chief w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
