In 2007 Philadelphia, specifically West and North Philadelphia (respectively, West of the Schuylkilll River/U. Penn Campus, and North of Girard Avenue), earned the nickname 'Killadelphia' from averaging over 1 murder and 4 shootings per day.

The derivation, 'Killadelph' is a combination of 'Killadelphia' and the nickname 'Illadelph' popularized by native Hip-Hop group, The Roots; from the title of their third album 'Illadelph Halflife'.

How did the Philadelphia Phillies get their name?

The Flyers got their name through a contest. Bill Putnam announced there would be a contest to decide the name of the Philadelphia hockey team, and many attempted to win the contest. It was the sister of Ed Snider (who owns the Philadelphia Flyers) that suggested the name Flyers, and Ed Snider saw it as a winning name. Over 100 entries were labeled as "Flyers" and a drawing was held to determine which one would be the winner. It was Alec Stockard, at that time a 9-year-old boy, who won the drawing, although he did misspell the name and wrote "Fliers."
