Linea 40:
# White's Latin Dictionary gives '''Nottinghamia'''
No other source I have handy gives a listing. You can, I suppose, take your pick of those. --[[Usor:Iustinus|Iustinus]] 21:25 aug 25, 2004 (UTC)
* Interesting research, thank you - I think I'll leave it as ''Nottinghamia''. I also made up Brigladia Occidentalis (West Bridgford) based on entries in [[Index locorum in Regno Unito]] with 'bridge' and 'ford' in them, and Callunacampus (Hatfield) is a literal translation of the entomological roots of Hatfield (i used ''campus'' for the alliteration :-) Perhaps though your input would be useful for ''Hertfordshire'' (bear in mind there is a major town called ''Hertford'' too)- I originally translated it as ''Hertfordiensis'', based on the index locorum entry ''Bedfordiensis comitatus (Bedfordshire)'' but the link you gave above (Google cache only) gives these names for counties with names ending 'shire':
** Angulia: Flintshire.
** Aruonia: Caernarvonshire.
