    In my country we name places after the surrounding area/environment. If it’s an area with a big hill it will probably have a name to reflect that.

        These days you can’t even tell the name comes from the area. They use old words to describe it. An area with a hill could be called a “Something-bjer”. Bjer means hill and is close to the modern word Berg but if you don’t know about it then you don’t think about it.

        Sure, we could have old barn road. But I am not talking about roads. More like City names, local village names, local area names and such.
