These are apparently the county names if taken literally or whatever they were originally called way back when

  6. Misread London as “The place at the unaffordable river” and was impressed by how accurate it was.

  7. Loving “West Midlands” unapologetically in there.

  8. I’m from the Place of the Unaffordable River but live in the shire of the South People.

  9. Born in East saxons

    Live in the place of the South people

    Used to live in the west yew tree place

  10. I’m from the Shire of the ford by the landing place. Interested to know more!

  13. I thought Cumberland was related to ‘Cymru’ and represented the ‘other people’, i.e. the Celtic Romano-Britons as opposed to the Angles and Saxons.

  14. Originally from the shire of the town of the Ligore people, but now down in the shire of the Dumnonii People!

  17. I’m just worried about the Dumnonii people being stuck between the people of the fist and foreigners of the horn.

  20. Animals

    I’m a druid so be careful else imma wildshape into a bear and beat you up

  21. I have no idea if is works for wales or scotland but please see if you can find that. I have no idea how you found this map yourself and i cant

  23. Since when was Somerset classed as “Summer People?” 😂

  24. I dwell in The Shire of The Town on The Pure River.

    Ribble Valley. God’s Country.

  29. I’m from the Shire of the Northerly home farm and, yeah, that’s fairly accurate to be honest

  34. Originally bright person now person of snot. Oh how the mighty fall.

  36. my father had an aunt and uncle who lived at Home Farm in the Shire of the Home Farm.

  37. I’m a middle Saxon but according to this map I don’t exist.

  43. Kent is wrong.

    >The meaning has been explained as ‘coastal district,’ ‘corner-land’ or ‘land on the edge’ (compare Welsh cant ‘bordering of a circle, tyre, edge;’ Breton cant ‘circle;’ Dutch kant ‘side, edge’). In Latin sources the area is called Cantia or Cantium, while the Anglo-Saxons referred to it as Cent, Cent lond or Centrice.[6][7] [Wikip](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent#Etymology)

  44. Love how there’s random ones like ‘eight sided’ and ‘Bright people’ and then there’s just ‘West Midlands’

  45. You missed off County Durham “land of the prince bishops”

  46. The Land North of the Humber but live right by the north western border of County of the Hill Island which I’ve always wanted to live in

  47. Place at unfordable River. But I did a 23 and me and my entire family appears to be scandi or originally from North Shire of the place of yew trees. Such a boring inbred 23 and me. Both sides of family (despite meeting in place at unfordable River 50 years ago). We are very fair though.

    I believe where I was actually born was middlesex and my family came overwhelmingly from Jorvic, west side…
