Wikipedia
Under the Muslims, the village was apparently called Abdegas, but during the times of the Reconquista ( 12th century ) it was called Portus de Auren, from which the name Ourém was later derived.
According to popular myth, the name of the village is actually derived from a Moorish Princess who converted to Christianity under the name of Oureana.
