Name Explain

One of my favourite YouTube channels is called Name Explain, done by a young Englishman named Patrick Foote. He does short, generally four to six minutes, videos on the etymology and derivation of names, names of animals, countries, rivers, you name it. It's fascinating and I have thoroughly enjoyed every video of his I've watched.

He has written a book! Here is his video announcing it and a link to Amazon to buy it, if you're so inclined. I'm an Old Curmudgeon on a fixed income, but I have every intention of preordering it on the first of the month (it's release date is 15 October).

The Origin of Names, Words and Everything in Between

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
