Etymology
The word Lexington comes from an old English name that meant the 'town of Leaxa's people'. The ending -ton means 'town', just like in Washington, so Lexington originally meant 'Leaxa's town' and that is why it is the name of the Massachusetts town famous for the first battle of the American Revolution.
