Saint Quiteria (Spanish: Quiteria, Catalan: Quitèria, , French: Quitterie, Portuguese: Quitéria) was a 5th century virgin martyr and saint. Nothing is certain about Quiteria except her name and her cult. Her name appears in the Roman Martyrology, but not in any other ancient calendars (such as the Martyrologium Hieronymianum). Her name is a title that the Phoenicians gave to the goddess Astarte: Kythere, Kyteria, or Kuteria, which means "the red one.", which some take to mean that she might be a fictional saint; but one must keep in mind that she may have simply been named after the pagan goddess.
