london の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ローマ時代にこの地が Londinium と呼ばれたことが、現在の London という名前につながりました。
London developed from Londinium, the Latin name used for the settlement established in Roman Britain. Over many centuries, changes in pronunciation and spelling produced Old English forms and eventually the modern name London. The origin of Londinium before its use in Latin is uncertain, so no single deeper meaning can be stated confidently. Its documented connection with the Roman place-name is the reliable point to remember.
