<p>Include Page: Iż-Żurrieq</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{cleanup}}<br /> {{stub}}<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Iż-Żurrieq&#039;&#039;&#039; was inhabited since the bronze age by a relatively large population. The largest village in the area, it is also the centre of most of its commercial activities and offers a number of interesting sites. The first historical reference to this village goes back in 1399. The villages of [[Ħal Lew]], [[Ħal Millieri]], [[Ħal Manin]], [[Il-Bubaqra]], [[Ħal Far]], [[Nigret]]and [[Qrendi]] used to make part of the village itself, until in 1618 the village of Qrendi became a village of its own right while the others dissolved in a natural way with their area now making an integral part of the village perimeter.<br /> <br /> Lying further away from the main village centre there are two other hamlets, Bubaqra and in-Nigret.<br /> <br /> Origins of the Name &quot;Iż-Żurrieq&quot;<br /> <br /> The Semitic roots indicate the word zoroq would mean blue, but it is not clear for what do they refer. One may recall the old motto in Latin saying: From the blue sea I took my name.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Towns and Villages in Malta]]</div>
