Cities get their names in many fun ways, sometimes from people, sometimes from things around them. For example, a city might be named after someone important or something special that happened there. It’s like naming your room after your favorite toy or song.
Examples
- A city might be named 'London' because it was built near a river called the Thames.
- Sometimes cities are named after heroes, like Rome, which came from a man called Romulus.
- A new city could get its name from something modern, like a movie or a computer game.
