Leicester's name derives from the Old English "Læce ceaster," which means "the fortification by the river Leach." The river name "Leach" itself is thought to come from the Celtic word for "water." Over time, the name evolved through various forms, including "Lecester" and "Leicestershire," reflecting the city's long history dating back to Roman times when it was known as Ratae Corieltauvorum. The name signifies its historical significance as a fortified settlement.
