Do you ever notice that we don't think about the origins of English placenames, even when they're sitting right out in front of us?
Like, "Oxford" is probably like a place where an ox can ford a stream, but we don't even separate the word like that, it's just "Oxford" to us.
It's funny when you read another language and there's places that are named like that, you have to wonder if they separated out the meaning then like we do now.
