Cedeira is a municipality in the province of A Coruña in the autonomous community of Galicia in northwestern Spain. It is situated in the northern coast of the Rías Altas. Cedeira has a population of 6,626 inhabitants (INE, 2022).
== Etymology == All scholars agree that the place name Cedeira derives from a pre-existing Latin word cetaria, which alludes to marine fish. As no coinciding words seem to exist in the traditional lexical heritage of Galicia nor does it seem to have ever existed as a common name in the Gallaecian language, the toponym is most likely from the Roman period. However, the hypothesis that the name and the town of Cedeira have Roman origins cannot be confirmed categorically, owing to lack of historical documentation.
