York. new york is named for a duke of York who ruled over York in England. The name York itself comes from the Celtic Eburacon, “the place of the yew trees.” This became the Latin Eburacum, but to the Anglo-Saxons who ruled England after the Romans Eburacum sounded like Eoforwic, their “boar town,” and to the Vikings who invaded after them Eo- forwic sounded like Iorwik. Over the years Iorwik was short- ened to Iork, which was finally transliterated into York. |
