Leghorn
The city of Livorno was known during the 16th-17th centuries as Legorno, so Leghorn is a pretty short leap. Thanks for asking this one -- I always wondered, but never got around to researching it.
The Leghorn chicken breed originated in Italy, specifically in the port city of Livorno, which was formerly known as Leghorn in English. It was developed from a mix of local Italian breeds and imported chickens from Asia and Spain. Leghorns are known for their prolific egg-laying abilities and have become popular around the world for commercial egg production.
