Lorraine
Quiche's home region
Lorraine is a region in northeastern France, historically contested between France and Germany.
The name appears in quiche Lorraine, an egg-and-bacon custard tart originating there.
Lorraine is also a feminine given name, sometimes chosen to honor the region or its patron saint, Joan of Arc (Jeanne d'Arc, the Maid of Lorraine).
