William Penn chose the name "Philadelphia" from Greek roots meaning "The City of Brotherly Love." Philadelphia has, at various times, been called "The Athens of America," "The Workshop of the World," "The City of Homes," "The City of Neighborhoods," "The Quaker City," "The Cradle of Liberty," "Corrupt and Content," "The City That Loves You Back" and, of course, plain old "Philly."
