This frequently occurred when settlers named their new settlements after the regions or cities they emigrated from.
Yup. There are two cities named Frankfurt in Germany for example,
Both named after Frank? 😂
One was a river crossing point used by the Frankish tribes, the other was just this dude Frank that built a fort and was so awesome of a guy people just wanted to live around him.
I can’t tell if this is a joke. If you were German I would know it’s not one but there’s no earthly way to tell otherwise
And one in Kentucky, but it’s spelled Frankfort
But only one of them is named after a fortress built from sausages.
