Good quiz but there are a few more which could be considered:

La Paz - short for Nuestra Señora de la Paz, or “Our Lady of Peace,’ referring to the Virgin Mary.

Bratislava - Named after Prince Braslav - literally ‘Braslav’s Glory.’

Tunis - named after the ancient Phoenician goddess ‘Tanith.’

Funafuti - Named for one of the two wives of one of Tuvalu’s founding ancestors, ‘Futi.’

Harare: named after the Shona chieftain Neharawa.
