Two months ago my brain decided that I needed to find out what the name of each country means. As the work progressed, along came capital cities and some administrative divisions. On some days I didn’t do anything else but this and on some other days I barely even looked at the list. A bit surprisingly I actually managed to finish the project, so here I present to you the meaning and language group of origin of quite many placenames.

Did you know Pinarayi Vijayan was once just A. Vijayan? Kerala politics is full of leaders known more by their hometowns than their real names! https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/kerala/pinarayi-vijayan-was-once-a-vijayan-when-place-names-shaped-kerala-politics-h3z4yqqq?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #PinarayiVijayan #KeralaPolitics #PlaceNames #KodiyeriBalakrishnan

We all know 'New York, New York' but what about 'Eger, Eger, Eger' (Sudetenland).
Are there any places with higher levels of self-nesting?

This is rather nice, newly on the National Library of Scotland Maps website: East Lothian Field Names Recording Project. I'm having fun already looking up field names for some ancestral farms around Gifford, Garvald and Saltoun. A project still in progress. https://maps.nls.uk/projects/field-names/project/

Largest USA cities matching Italian place names
Source: caliper.comMost of these cities and towns in the United States have Anglicized the Italian city names. For many of the cases the city name was chosen based on the Italian city, though some of the “Augusta” examples appear to have been named for local women. In other instances, a city may have been named for the settlers hometown, which itself was named for a city/town in Italy. The population figures provided are 2026 estimates by worldpopulationreview.com.
Most common city/town names from Italy include Augusta = 8, Milan = 7, Florence/Rome = 6 each and Genoa/Lodi = 5 each.

NiemanLab: Nine months later, that body of water down south is still the “Gulf of Mexico” to news outlets. “The news cycle has very much moved on; Trump leaves reporters no shortage of things to write about. But I wanted to check in and see how much ‘Gulf of America’ had stuck in news media. The answer is: not very much.”

States with the most “City” communities
Source: garden-city.orgListed below are the states with the most communities that include “city” in their name. This includes cities, towns, villages, hamlets, municipalities, unincorporated places, and census designated places. It does not include ghost towns, townships nor equivalent “towns” in Wisconsin, New York and elsewhere.
When one thinks about it, the popularity of Garden City makes sense given humans love living in scenic and/or bucolic locations. What name epitomizes those feelings better? Also among the top ten “city” names are Lake City and Forest City. Peace!

States with the most “City” communities
Source: garden-city.orgListed below are the states with the most communities that include “city” in their name. This includes cities, towns, villages, hamlets, municipalities, unincorporated places, and census designated places. It does not include ghost towns, townships nor equivalent “towns” in Wisconsin, New York and elsewhere.
When one thinks about it, the popularity of Garden City makes sense given humans love living in scenic and/or bucolic locations. What name epitomizes those feelings better? Also among the top ten “city” names are Lake City and Forest City. Peace!

Wouldn't it be nice to call the islands in the pink zone on this map, here labelled as "South East Asia Isl.", Skaianesia instead?
σκαιός / skaios is the ancient Greek for west. The name I propose suits the group of islands that lie to the west of the other three named groups.
