The name of every British town and city has a long history.
Two thousand years ago, most people living in Britain were Celts(凯尔特人). Even the word "Britain" is Celtic. Then the Romans arrived and built camps. These camps became cities called "castra". This is why there are so many place names in England that end in "-chester" or "-caster". Manchester is one example.
After the Romans left Britain, it was attacked by Anglo-Saxon people and became its new owners. These people were from the area that is now Germany and the Netherlands (荷兰). The names of their villages often ended in "-ham" or "-ton". Some got their names from the leaders of the villages, so Birmingham, for example, means "Beormund's village".
Twelve hundred years ago, Vikings(维京人) came to England. They traded with the Anglo-Saxons but lived in their own villages. These often ended in "-by" or "-thorpe". The name "Kirkby" means "a village with a church(教堂)" and Scunthorpe was the village of a man called Skuma. Finally, in 1066, England became Norman(诺曼人的)—the Normans gave us the place name "grange", which means "farm".
And how about London? Experts cannot agree! The Romans called the city Londinium, but they were not the first people there. People once believed that the United Kingdom's capital city was named for the castle(城堡) of a king called Lud, but this is almost impossible. Our best guess today is that the name comes from a Celtic word meaning "a fast-flowing river".
①Vikings came to England and trade with the Anglo-Saxons.
②The Romans arrived in Britain and built camps.
③England became Norman and was named "grange", which means farm.
④The Anglo-Saxons attacked Britain.
