London vorname

London , otherwise known as the Big Smoke , has been the capital of England, informally at least, since the Tower of London was built by by William the Conqueror.

We hit the history books to find the capital reasons for its name. Confusingly, it has also been referenced in surviving books as Londiniensium, Londinio, Londiniensi and… Augusta. So far, so good. Celtic had a broad dominance in Wales and the West Country before the Romans arrived. Fast-forward to the 8th century and Alfred the Great took over the dilapidated, formerly Roman town and anglicized the name to Lundenburh, which eventually got shortened to London.

Although London would have looked vastly different and a lot smaller back then, this name referred only to what we now call the City of London — the original square mile of walled city founded by the Romans.
