Martin sucks but plenty (most?) Anglo-Saxon and Brittonic placenames are like this or worse. You just don't recognize them because the language has shifted. >a river ford for oxen >Oxford
>a town for swine >Swinton
>a minster (cloistered community) in the west >Westminster
>an ey (island) with oaks on it >Oaksey
It's all like this. It's all like this in every other country and every other language too, I just know those languages less
People aren't creative when it comes to placenames. MonteBlack means black mountain, Wales comes from a word for foreigners, Thermopylae means hot gates, the -stan suffix means "land of" so Pakistan means land of the Pakis, Hindustan means land of the HIndus, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, etc.
