**Publisher's Note** This book is almost a toponymic atlas of the world, crafted by Isaac Asimov into a collection of captivating stories. Discover why Australia carries the word "south" while Austria embodies "east," and how the name New Jersey might be linked to an English king, just as the name Philadelphia could be tied to an Egyptian pharaoh. Countless places around the globe have been named after gods, saints, kings, presidents, politicians, warriors, and significant events. The past will unveil the wonders and magic of language from distant eras.
