Let’s take the Rhine Which goes from Switzerland to Netherlands. When and how did people start agreeing on giving-it the same name ? What about the alps going from southern France to Austria ? When did people agreed that it was the same mountain range ? And obviously what about the Gulf of Mexico ?
They didn’t, a lot of shared places, or land features have different names in differsnt languages and different places. Agreements happen when something either didn’t have a name before, or when the name came from the past.
I find those funny, which just have the same word in another language for their name, like the River Avon or the Sahara Desert or even Torpenhow Hill which is “Hill Hill Hill Hill” in different languages.
You dont even need 2 languages, just a bottle of whisky.
‘Loch Lochy’ in Scotland.
There also are multiple rivers with danu root, that also means river: danube, donets, don. People aren’t exceptionally good at naming in general, so “hill” hill and “river” river. 😄
Also town town, mountain mountain, and my favourite, river hill mountain town town.
Wasn’t this “hill hill hill” hill name debunked by Tom Scott?
idk who that is, but it’s in wikipedia
Youtube Tom Scott, and then lose a few weeks of your life.
