Abstract

This article presents how the English language was shaped by a combination of various influences. The various influences can be tracked by analyzing the different place names that can be found on the British Isles. Even though today’s place names might appear completely different or in many cases even illogical, in the past they were used to express natural features, habitation forms, followers of a god or a particular family, etc. Place names change as does the language itself, because it is a living entity that evolves and takes on different shapes and forms.
