Common toponyms in city names
City names often contain toponyms describing a type of settlement or indicating a geographical feature.
Can you guess the 28 common ones selected here ?
For each, you'll get the country and population of 3 cities that include it in their names, as well as an indication of the etymology of the toponym (e.g. germanic, latin, slavic).
The toponyms can be from any language, but they must appear in the English names of cities.
Some similar toponyms with similar meanings and etymologies are considered to be the same (e.g. ciutad, cité, city, citta).
Non geography related words such as "New", "Saint", "Las", "Al", ... are not included.
