Cities and countries are named for a variety of reasons including geographic features, historical events, influential figures, or cultural significance. Some are named after the founder, a deity, a prominent landmark, or in honor of a historical figure or event. Others may have names derived from the indigenous language of the region or from a significant feature of the area.
