americans really decided to just name cities with ‘new’ ‘actual place’ some examples.
New York [York = city in England]
New Jersey [Jersey = place/island between France and the UK]
New Orleans [Orléans = city in France]
New Braunfels [Braunfels = town in Germany]
New Bedford [Bedford = town in England]
New Rochelle [La Rochelle = city in France]
New Britain [Britain = just an entire country]
you get the gist, just look up any town/city in America starting with “new” without the new and you get a place in Europe.
