In many countries of the world
，
people can confidently tell you the meaning of their town or
city
，
but most people who live in Manchester
，
Oxford or Birmingham would not be able to explain
what the name of their city means. The name of every British town and city
，
however
，
has a long
history.
Two thousand years ago. most people living in Britain were Celts. Even the word “Britain

.Then the Romans arrived and built camps which became cities called “castra

is
why
there
are
so
many
place
names
in
England
which
end
in

or

. Place names that end in “
-
ford
（
a place where you
could cross a river
）
also describe the location of Anglo

Saxon villages.
Finally
，
in 1066
，
England became Norman――the Normans gave us the place name
，
which means farm.
And how about
London? Experts cannot agree. The Romans called the city Londinium
，
but
they were not the first inhabitants
（居民）
. People once believed that the United Kingdom’s capital
city got its name from the castle of a King called Lud? but this is very unlikely. Our best guess today
is that the name comes from a Celtic word meaning a fast

flowing river. Like a number of British
