We also use a whole ton of Native American names for places, though badly mangled in pronunciation I’m sure.
I suppose that still makes us fairly uncreative with place names.
But are we less creative than the village of hill-hill-hill though?
Spanish names too in the west
The spanish names are always funny since they’re often just descriptions.
El Paso: The Pass
Los Angeles: The Angels
Los Alamos: The Poplars
Frio County: Cold CountyAnd many many other examples.
Florida -> Flowery
What … what exactly does “The Angels” describe
They said often, not always 😅
Someone else who lived in the Seattle area!!
The PNW for sure, but also all over. Milwaukee, Tallahassee, Tucson and Connecticut are all Native American in origin.
