Etymology
London gets its name from the very old Roman name Londinium, which probably comes from an earlier Celtic word. One idea says that older word meant 'place of Lond' (Lond as a man's name) or it may have meant 'wild' for the river area, so the ancient short name stuck and still names the city today.
