Abhor and Mehraela

Abhor (or Amba Hor) and Mehraela were a brother and sister who were martyrs for the Christian faith. Etymology of the word "Abhor": from Latin abhorrēre (to shudder at, shrink from), from "ab" (away) and "horrēre" (to bristle, shudder). The book of their "acts" has been lost. Their feast day is celebrated on January 9 in the Coptic Church.
