A precious object from the past
Derived from the English word for an object surviving from an earlier time, especially one of historical or sentimental interest. It ultimately stems from the Latin 'reliquiae', meaning remains or leftovers. In a modern naming context, it suggests something rare, treasured, and enduring.
