This video was suppose to go live at 4pm my time but TH-cam decided to share it at midnight 🤷
Enjoy!
You should do a name explained of Guyana! I’d love to see it. Brazil would be interesting too.

"What makes Britain great is Scotland"
Yeah… and England, Wales and Ireland
@@harrymorris2361 Ireland makes Britain great? Without even being in Britain? Damn
@@oyoo3323 Ireland is its own island. Part of Ireland is in the UK, none of Ireland is in Great Britain.
@@anglewoden I know. Explain how that would make the island of Great Britain great.
Damn right!! 🏴
New Zealand City of Dunedin is Gaelic translation of Edinburgh.
I'm so used to hearing short videos on this channel it was quite a treat to sit back for a big chewy compilation!
-- oh my god it's bedtime! 🤯🤣
I'm not going to lie, I shouted 'yeah' when he admitted that Scotland makes Britain Great.
Hi Patrick. Thank you for the upload :)
Thanks for taking the time to put this together, your content is always very interesting
In my home state of Pennsylvania, in the USA, we have a lot of cities and counties named after places in Great Britain, such as Darby, Upper Darby, Bryn Mawr, Lancaster, North Wales, York, Westmoreland, Exton, Chester, Cumberland, Northampton, Somerset, Northumberland, etc.
Here in ohio as well
It is Derby in the UK so no banana for that one, lol.
@@samuelmacpherson3787 Yes. I lived in Bryn Mawr, Pa. for 3 years.
I discovered there's a New Portsmouth in New Hampshire and being from Portsmouth, Hampshire I really want to go there lol
New Hampshire - th-cam.com/video/MKfLzrE78sY/w-d-xo.html
New Caledonia in the south Pacific deserves a mention too for the New United Kingdom section.
❤️ I love how thoroughly this one was composed.
Thank you! This is really good information.
There’s a region in the northeast of New South Wales called New England, too. The New England Highway runs from Newcastle, north and inland over the northern tablelands, through Armidale and Tenterfield, then back east to Brisbane. Btw... Cardiff is also a suburbs of Newcastle, NSW. Many of the suburbs and towns of the coal-mining centre of Newcastle in New South Wales, are names after many famous coal-mining towns of Britain.
I’m here to learn about Chiswick. Most confusing spelling. There are silent W’s in English, but are exceedingly rare.
“I’m traveling from Gatwick to Chiswick.” …. Is such a strange sentence to read out loud.
Been diverted to Alnwick and Shotwick too en route! 🤣
With blood from clan Ramsey and clan Wallis, I love the assertion that what makes Britain great is Scotland!
11:19, Ireland's kinda sus.
I live in Gloucester, Ontario, Canada (or what used to be the City of Gloucester before it amalgamated with Ottawa. The area is still called Gloucester by locals, but as a suburb and not a separate city.)
The funny part is that we have a entire county called Gloucester in New-Brunswick.
I think the section about Galway and Galloway sets the world record for mispronunciations.
I was born in New Britain, Connecticut. Cheerio!
While there might not be a New Cardiff, New South Wales does have a Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Menai and Bangor.
You seem to have forgotten the island of Anglesea (modern spelling Anglesey), which name has been applied to a coastal town in Victoria, Australia.
Last time I was this early people were still speaking Latin.
At ego Latīne loquor
On one of my trips to London, I discovered there's a place called Edmonton, which is the city I'm from in Canada. I didn't make it to Devon in the UK but I live in the smaller crappier version of Devon that's just outside of Edmonton in Central Alberta.
"are the countries in the UK really separate"... Yes. Yes they are
Well not really, the home nations are one country as a union. None of the home nations have their own governments. Which is the defining criteria for a country. Instead, they have devolved administrations which are submissive to the larger union government.
Only in their mind. The rest of the world couldn't care less and only recognize and deal with the UK as a whole.
@@SantomPh cool. So we should not care that the rest of the world is different counties and refer to them as their contiants. That's what you sound like mate. We have different laws. Different trades and parliaments stfu
@@placeholdernameisplacehold7671 idk who told you we don't have our own separate governments but we do. We have different parliaments and political groups.
@@eggman37 No, we don't. We have one government and one parliament. The devolved administrations are part of that one government, submissive to the British parliament which has the final say on all policy. There is only one truly sovereign political body in the united kingdom, and that is the British parliament through which all branches of the British state, even the crown, draws power.
Note on "Britain" : in Irish "An Bhreatain Bheag (the Britain Little / Little Britain" is the name for Wales. Quite logical considering the British were essentially the Celts who were displaced by or intermarried with the Anglo-Saxons and every else who made Britain their home. Those who fled to France took the name with them, and Breton and Welsh are highly mutually intelligible, though not perfectly 😊
I love how you pronounce a one syllable word ‘Wales’ as
‘Way Yools’. Proper English has so many accents.
I would pronounce it:
‘Waylscz’ (stress on the ‘s’ sound).
- USA, Mid Eastern Coast.
Barbados is often referred to as Little Bristol
Did you mention the island of New Caledonia?
Hey have you done one of these on Guyana??? I’d love to know about Guyana
Hey could you make a video about why Germany has very different names in different languages. I'm not German or anything I just think it would be interesting
Bærnet: the clearing of forest by fire
So in other words
BURN-IT 😂
Ohhh there is a Wales Maine! I JUST moved from there a month ago. Occasionally my mail will be delayed by over a month because they send it to Wales UK instead of Wales ME.
Jack, French "Jacques" is actually James. I don't know where John comes from as an etymology.
Queen = woman ... Norwegian Kvinne.
The issue is that English has no equivalent of King, like her sister languages Dutch (Koning - Koningin) and German König - Königin . I suppose Kingin/Kingine would have sounded ridiculous. This was part of the dilemma with England's reluctance to have a female monarch. They (during the different eras) didn't like the idea of a queen (wife of a king) transferring her power over to hers husband upon marriage. The same issue came into play in Scotland. However had Mary Queen of Scots or Elizabeth I (with the proper support) decided on strictly Latin terms or implemented the title "Royal Consort" and the rule that no power transfer could take place upon the marriage of a ruling female monarch. Issues could have been avoided 😁
Galway - Galloway, you showed the Gaelic version of Galloway but not Galway.
The UK is a Union of Nations/States/Countries. We have the words countryside and country for a reason. I have often found myself stumbling when a French person, upon finding out I'm from the United States asking "de quel pays" "from which country"
Schoonbrood = beautiful/clean bread.
There's a place called Londres (London in Spanish) in Argentina.
Bro I’m actually learning shit that school couldn’t. Dam
I’m in New Westminster. It is a suburb of Vancouver British Columbia
May we continue to work to keep Britain Great! Born and living in Scotland with no desire for independence.
3:26 we are the best part after all
killaloe in ontario canada, named after a parish in ireland. most young people think it's an indigenous word, which to be fair, it does sound like one.
Here's a question for you i think. Why don't Americans use y in place of i like the English? Perhaps im only looking at sources from time long gone. Example, vampire/vampyre. Pirate/pyrate. Also, why do we spell the the element sulfur and sulphur differently?
I always thought it meant "Large britain". Never occurred to me that they might mean Good Britain
There is another Brighton in northern ny, Franklin county, look for Gabriels ny
"Written between 147 and 148 ED..."
He definitely referenced Erectile Dysfunction. Definitely. No. Doubt.
yesssssssss...COMPENDIUM!
the Jacobites were followers of King James and from Jacobite it is easy to get to Jack.
Shalom, the Jacobites were the indigenous of Britain, i.e. black European royalty. Jacobite was a way for white people to hide the fact that these were Israelites i.e. jews. The usurpers validate this by claiming to be us. Please see Elizabeth's mythological genealogy. What has been hidden by white supremacist scholarship is the fact that so-called white people have no history. Please read FLORENTINE CODEX and the letters and diaries of Columbus and the conquistadors and read Anacalypsis by G Higgins and Google black European royalty. The rabbit hole is very deep. Our people are the rightful rulers of the world. And we have been deeply affected by the lies of white supremacist scholarship. Remember, so-called black people are indigenous to the planet, so one would expect to find us everywhere. Have archeological excavation in Europe yielded any ancient white people when they have found human remains? No
The only people you would expect to find
are so-called black people. This is everywhere on the planet. If Homer was a white man, I ask, what alphabet did he use?
Ahh gotta love the british accent... ireland and island sounded, well, pretty much the same 🤣
Music?
Back on TH-cam already?
A lot of names haha
45:33 Roman “Muneral” had to do it im
Sorry
1:59:37 thanks
What is the name of the background music_
Darude - sandstorm
nice
Was interested in watching this video. Clicked it from the suggested videos from the last video. But, 3 minutes in I realized it was 2 hours long. Sorry, that is too many names for me lol
Theres a Cardiff in San Diego California
Fucking, Austria just renamed itself Fugging six months ago. It is to my everlasting shame that I passed within a few kilometers of there in 2019 but never visited.
The town named itself that, not the country
@@SantomPh That's what I said.
When we unite together, our national power rises.
I didn’t know that the Cumberland gap was named after Cumberland in the uk
you forgot New Caledonia
What about King William and Queen Mary?
There is a Cardiff in NSW
And in California.
Their is more than one London in the USA
And one in Ontario, Canada 😊
Thank you
They're probably phasing out Welsh purely as a time saving measure.
Leicester NC
I hate when someone says cookski. I say do I look like a Polish to? Them fighting words! It’s Cooksey damb it!
I only ever knew of "Cockney" as being like an insult of sorts, I guess? Like it's used as a negative reference to a person's class. To have a Cockney accent was to say you didn't speak Received Pronunciation, like QEII, royalty, aristocrats, "Posh" people... like a broken/improper English I guess? What I imagine the upper class of American society thinks of people who speak slang/improper English that also has its own distinctive accent. Uneducated, unsophisticated, lower class. It's not at all meant to be a compliment. I've also heard of, and like, the punk band "The Cockney Rejects", which is what I think of any time I hear or see the word Cockney. Learned something new today!
Y is also a vowel in English. Otherwise "my" would be hard to pronounce.
The state of New South Wales isn't in South Australia nor is it a southern Australian state it has 2 states directly south of it and south Australia (also a state of Australia) to the south west of it
Queensland is so huge it basically relegates Victoria and NSW to "southern" status
The football club is pronounced Celtic with a soft C but the word when relating to the Celts has a hard C. Gaelic has no soft C.
And don't forget the NBA team from Boston USA
@@jayjohnson1333 Nah, they can be forgotten
Am I wrong or do your accent sound australian?
Idk. He is from England.
Well damn. Unfortunately where I live in the US has mostly German place names.
@EyeZackZin I was talking about the area I live (in) in the US. Thanks for the correction though, I had no idea there were different place name origins in the US. 🌠
Also... Scotland and Britain also shared a hatred of each other... Might we say?
We stan non-binary monarchs
Westminster, California, I can affirm that the only good part of California’s Westminster is actually Huntington Beach.
i’m irish
Great merica!!! Lets do it
Where's the new Scunthorpe
New Hebrides (until 1980)
Man says new so mAnY tImEs it has no meaning anymore lmao
Me, living near Brighton, NY: 👁️👄👁️
I thought I had read the jack from the union jack came from the jacobites or jacob from the Bible..
Shuffle your card 🔥
Holy fuck
You said the Angles were just in England? They were also in Southern Scotland as well. I might have heard it wrong but you I think you said England wasn't a 'Celtic' country whatever that means. What was England when the Romans arrived and had tribes like the Iceni in then? As you said 'Celtic' is much more modern invention and the 'Celts' were just another invading force from central Europe.
Your research appears to be a few keystrokes. Here's an idea, go to one of the glorious libraries nearby and open a dictionary or encyclopedia
Se had a dream of great Finland, nyt it died with WW2
Jk ofc
Northern Ireland doesn’t have a south coast so erasing the rest of the province and island is misleading
you probably said britain 500 times in this video
isle of a m o g u s
I just say UK
Goddamn that's long
oi yeh lemme cheq thuh shejuwal
why at Midnight?
there's two dozen something time zones
Nathan Dudani yes but Patrick (Name Explain’s narrator) is from the UK. It was around midnight when he uploaded this.
No clue. Thought I scheduled it to go live at 4pm today but clearly youtube had other plans lol
Name Explain TH-cam gotta mess with the schedule sometimes!
It came out at midnight even though he scheduled it for another time which means there is only one valid reason for that. Ghosts did it
I can't hear Britain anymore
i always put my union flag upside down because i noticed certain people get triggered because they think its really offensive raising it showing we are in distress.
Um it's the same either way?
Good video. Could have done without the irrelevant virtue signaling though.
The UK isn’t a country.
The UK is a country. Look at your passport.
Yeah, going great until you decided to politicise this, generalise and misrepresent British attitudes towards Polish folk.
The same old divisive BS.
Because it's true
Hey could you make a video about why Germany has very different names in different languages. I'm not German or anything I just think it would be interesting
I'm German and the gist of it is that different language groups picked different people groups that lived in the area that is current day Germany and started to call all of us that. Also depended a bit on who they had the most contact with and of course there is Polish and languages related to it that just calles us "mute" pretty much because we didn't speak the same language and couldn't understand each other.
There is a pretty detailed Wikipedia page on the names for Germany too because it's such a widely known fact that it has so many very different names.
I mean I only speak German, English and Spanish and already have to call my country three different things being Deutschland, Germany and alemania. Countries that only later got into contact with us usually call us something that is related to what we call ourselves and so do languages like the North Germanic ones that are closely related to German. Dutch also calls us something close to Deutschland but of course English had to be special in our little Germanic language family.
@@DieAlteistwiederda Thanks, thats really interesting, I myself now three languages and I had always wondered why Germany was the only country whose name is different every time.
