The most likely hypothesis is a derivation of the word “spurís (σπυρῐ́ς)” (Latin: sporta / sportula), which means “hamper, small basket, especially one used to distribute gifts to clients”.
Saint Spyridon, bishop of Trimythous, also sometimes written Saint Spiridon (~270–348), is a saint honored in both the eastern and western Christian traditions.
Spyridon is the patron saint of potters (from the purported miracle of the potsherd) and the island of Corfu where he is called: “Αγιος Σπυρίδων ο πολιούχος”, (Saint Spyridon, the Keeper of the City) for the miracle of expelling the plague (πανώλη) from the island.
