Some old places have explanations for weird names (1 Viewer)

[Ahsoka]

A lot of the time that explanation makes it understandably weird.

And then there’s Shitterton. Why is it named Shitterton? It had an open sewer there long ago. Doesn’t make it much more appealing

But a very functional name tho

We have romanian and hungarian weird names too, like Bugyi which translates to panty directly in english, but etymologically it has a different meaning. Coming from the slav word Budi, to protect, to watch over smth.

Or the romanian town Mirosi, which means "you stink".
