Elgin

(disambiguation)

Elgin, Moray (Scottish Gaelic: Eilginn) is a royal burgh and a former parliamentary burgh in Moray, Scotland. The origin of the name is obscure, but may be derived from EilgĂ­n, "Little Ireland."[1]

Many other places around the world are also called Elgin, though the pronunciation is often quite different; the Scottish pronunciation is "ELG-IN" as opposed to "EL-JIN". The largest municipality of the name is Elgin, Illinois, with a current population over 100,000.
