When people settle in a new place and base the settlement, they come up with this place the name. It may be associated with the legend, with the name of the hero, with a terrain where is located or some event. But sometimes the name causes full bewilderment - why? Why did this place so called?

Cities of the world

As a result, we have: approximately 44% of the names are repeated. A third of them is named by name (Ivanovka, Mikhailovo, Aleksandrovka ...), and a quarter - by nature (Sosnovka, Berezovka, Kalinovka ...).

My childhood passed in a wonderful military town with an unusual, as I then believed, the name is peaceful. This language game, peaceful - military, seemed absolutely normal local residents And very funny everyone else. Having matured, I learned disappointed that the peaceful (truth, not military) in Russia is not one ten, and in the world there are hundreds of settlements with much more strange and funny names.

It sounds the city

"Sir, I come from Gasconi.! " - What does it sound, and? D'Artagnan-Boyarsky twisted the mustache, the audience enthusiastically exhale. Although the province, not Paris, but still beautiful - Gascon. And how would he speak, living in the village Goats in the Tver region, in the Ukrainian Bald Balde, Kemerovo Kozyavykino or Old worms? Residents are upset and ask to rename their Musky, Mochoedovo or Big Bukhachovo In anything benevolent, linguists are perplexed. Say, national flavor and identity, it is necessary to rejoice, and not rename. Maybe the truth is necessary? And even renamed how the Saratov village Sodom in Big Sodom, you yourself will complain. Moreover, the funny cities of Russia are not alone. In the States, for example, is abandoned, however, Idymail, not far from which flows Idiotic stream, Croatia has a town called Slime, and in Michigan settlement Hell. Life at its inhabitants is quite Paradise: the skillful exploitation of a gloomy topic - from a welcoming plate with the almy letters "Welcome to hell" to the branded cocktail "Bloody Devil" - gives good dividends. In the village of Adovo Kirov region for some reason did not think before.

And if it would not be removing toponymy, who would know about these settlements? So is it worth shy a bright line Big Pissa In the column "place of birth"? And if I went to that, then D'Artagnian himself was generally called the Charlery de Batz de Castellum. AND Constance, by the way, in general, in Ukraine. So let him pose with his Gasconus!


Named with love

Exquisite Paris, Romantic Venice, the legendary Verona is all banalities, suitable only for advertising by travel agencies. Whether it's German Kissing and Petting. At forty minutes drive from the latter, by the way, there is an Austrian village Fuking. If this is straightforward, then the city Try again In South Africa, it will definitely cause the brightest feelings, and maybe in general will push the actions. And everything will be complete Happiness, more precisely the same thing in the Luhansk region.

However, not only cities can be called love, but also the streets. For example, residents of the English city, called several streets of the city with love ... to Robbie Williams.

HOW TO SAY

The capital of Brunei is called Bandar Series-Begavan, but main city Madagascar - Antananarivo. But, remembering these names, it is too early to rank with erudites: Believe me, there is where to strive. For example, on ski resort in the Bavarian Alps Garmisch-Partenkirchen or village in Wales, abbreviated - Llanvier Pullgvingill. The full version contains 58 letters of the Latin, it looks absolutely wilder ( LLlanweirpullgvingiLGeherhuryndobullantisiliohogogo) And translates as "St. Mary's Church in a White Oshshnik's hollow near the turbulent whirlpool and the church of St. Tsisilio near the Red Cave." Moreover, these strange llanquirpullgvingillins also have also made the site, with the same domain name consisting of several dozen letters. And may have recorded record attendance on it - in the form of two specially stubborn tourists with the jammed keyboard. Full Gogg!

We, of course, with your only Uppernovoktlumbetyev(Orenburg region) and Starokozmodemyanovsky(Tambov) hopelessly behind!

But still leadership positions holds the capital of Thailand, known to us as Bangkok. It is most sophisticated in geography, stories and speech therapy. Official name Little Thais and Thai teach at school, obediently repeating: "The city of Angelov, the Great City, the city - the eternal treasure, the impregnable city of the god Indra, the majestic capital of the world, gifted by nine gems, happy city, full of abundance of the grandiose royal palace, reminding the Divine The abode where the reincarnated God is reigning, the city is presented by Indy and built by Vishvakarma. " Who considers a complex multiplication table and the anthem of Russia?

How gratifying after that hear about the Australian town Wii-UAAwhose name resembles a crying baby (for sure the future Thai schoolboy), the village Tsats. in the Volgograd region or on all consonants Yes Yes Khabarovsk Region. Cute unceural city Why In Arizona, too, not bad. Initially, he was at all Y. - This letter was reminded two connecting urban highways. But since the strict state of Arizona (American laws!) Forbidden the city shorter than three letters, Igrek gave the Edaki, can be said, philosophical-question painting.

As for spelling, all records beats in this category California settlement Zzyzx. Such an original name allows him to be the last word in the geographical directories of states and in general in english language. And it is pronounced, by the way, very humane - just Zaenix.

ONE FOR ALL

London - the capital of Paris, Paris - the capital of Rome, and Rome ... The monologue of Carrollova Alice can well be continued and made geographically correct, saying that Athens (and not alone) are located in the USA, Brest - in France, Cordoba - in Argentina (and two more In Mexico), Constantinople - in the Donetsk region, and Paris, Leipzig and Berlin - not far from Chelyabinsk. The champion in global toponymics can be called the United States: the settlers who were bored in their homeland generously endowed tiny dusty settlements by proud titles of cute hearts of cities.

Attitude towards strange names, everyone is different: some of them are ashamed, others are ridiculed, and others are proud and they do not exchange anything.

For example, the residents of the village of Lohovo in the Irkutsk region are asked to rename their small homeland to Siberian (than, they say, worse than ex-Ibakova, now Nagornaya, a penate, called Rainbow, and Ternaya, arranged in the Red Pier).

And Selyan from the Dun-shine of the county Limerick defended her brilliance in the difficult bureaucratic struggle. Dun is a fort, shine - to put it mildly, the woman is free morals, and everything sounds not very, something like the Fort whores. But not for the Irish patriots: they categorically did not agree on the "just fort" (An-Dun). Maybe the brilliance was just a feminist? And in general, the love of native primarily, and absolutely no matter who the woman was, proudly stated a representative of the Rustic Council.
