Trindade

Trindade is the Portuguese term for Trinity, the Christian doctrine describing one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The word derives from Latin trinitas and is used across Portuguese-speaking communities to denote religious concepts as well as places and institutions.

In religious contexts, Trindade appears in the names of churches, shrines, and liturgical celebrations; Trinity Sunday is observed in many Christian calendars.

Geography: The name is used for several places in Brazil and elsewhere in the Portuguese-speaking world. The best-known example in Brazil is Trindade, Goiás, a municipality in the Central-West region.

In modern usage, Trindade also appears in institutional names and as a toponym that reflects its religious meaning, appearing in schools, religious orders, and community centers. The term remains common in everyday language, religious discourse, and place-naming across Portuguese-speaking cultures.
