London

chief city and capital of England, L. Londinium (c.115), often explained as "place belonging to a man named Londinos," a supposed Celtic personal name meaning "the wild one," "but this etymology is rejected in an emphatic footnote in Jackson 1953 (p.308), and we have as yet nothing to put in its place." [Margaret Gelling, "Signposts to the Past: Place-Names and the History of England," Chichester, 1978] London Bridge the children's singing game is attested from 1827. London broil "large flank steak broiled then cut in thin slices" is 1969, Amer.Eng.; London fog first attested 1830.
