The origin and meanings behind SCA placenames are often interesting.
While the ones Tivar mentions are mostly discussion or were made up
by Tivar as examples, there are many more of interest, some of which
have come and gone, and some of which are still there such as
"Stargate" or "Iron bog" or "Trimaris" or "Ansteorra" and "Ansteora".
For those interested in reading the various stories behind SCA names,
see these Florilegium files in the SCA-STORIES section:
placenames-msg (110K) 10/ 4/00 Origins and meanings of SCA
placenames.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/STORIES/placenames-msg.html
placenames2-msg (88K) 11/22/07 More origins and meanings of SCA
placenames.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/STORIES/placenames2-msg.html
Of course, if you are aware of the stories behind other groups which
aren't listed in these files, send me a message and I'll add it the
appropriate file.
