Want to visit some place with a weird, unique name ?
Some of these weird names will make you question everything.
Check out this list of 10 places whose name will make you laugh out loud.
Placentia, California
This one sounds so unpleasant which is weird because it originates from the phrase ‘pleasant place to live’ although I know we all were reminded of the word ‘placenta.’
Fries, Virginia
Well someone loves fries…
…. actually it was named after some guy named Francis Fries.
Ugley, England
Imagine being from Ugley.
The name dates back to the year 1041.
It was then called Uggele which meant ‘land clearing of a man named Ugga.’
Longcochon, France
It literally just means ‘long pig’ get your mind out of the gutter.
Horni Police, Czechia
It is the home to the church of the Visitation and it welcomes pilgrims yearly.
Very awkward and unfortunate if you ask me.
Someone even tried to capitalise on its name… you don’t want to know how.
Poo, Spain
Yep, you got that right.
Although apparently it has some incredible beaches soooo maybe let’s not judge Poo by its name.
Middlefart, Denmark
We know you’re laughing .
Its name is Old Danish for “Middle Way.”
Rottenegg, Austria
I mean this one… it’s super weird.
It is named for a ruined castle although instead of naming it ‘Rottenburg’ which literally means ‘ruined castle’ it is just called Rottenegg.
Maybe the castle’s owner was a rotten egg ? who knows.
Gotham, England
No, you will not find Batman here.
It draws its name from the old English world ‘goat home.’
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, Wales.
The longest word I have ever seen.
Who even manages to think of such a ridiculously long name!
It is often shortened to just Llanfair.
