When the Saxons arrived and asked the Welsh the name of that hill the
Welsh said “pen” which means “hill” in Welsh. So the Saxons used
their word for hill, “tor”, and called it Torpen (hill hill). Then the
Norse arrived and the same process added their word for the hill
“haugr”. So now it was Torpen Haugr (hill hill hill). Later the
English called it Torpenhow Hill (hill hill hill hill).

Però se si fossero più avvantaggiati delle dominazioni greca e spagnola avrebbero potuto far meglio degl'inglesi... Curiosità: certi nomi greci come Xirbi e Xiboli sono pronunciati Zirbi e Ziboli ("z" sonora), Matraxia invece Matrascia
