Satisfying logic behind how every area of Liverpool got its name
We've taken a look back at some of the origins
Park Road in Dingle, Liverpool
Liverpool has some seriously quirky place names that you won't find anywhere else - but where did they originate from and what do they actually mean?
Our towns, suburbs and villages got their names from logical things like local geography, livestock and plant life.
Over time these names have evolved and adapted into the places we recognise today. Looking back at their origins, it's easy to see how we arrived at the modern place names we see every day.
