Definition: "Angoumois" is a sacred name in French, meaning "glorious God," referring to a place where a holy cross is said to have been placed by Saint Stephen. The name Angoumois comes from the Greek roots "angΓ³s" (God) and "miaoos" (cross). It's significant as it's believed that this cross was an offering made by St. Stephen and one of many in his life that led him to martyrdom.
