- Edinburgh
[Edinburgh 词源字典]
- older than King Edwin of Northumbria (who often is credited as the source of the name); originally Din Eidyn, Celtic, perhaps literally "fort on a slope." Later the first element was trimmed off and Old English burh "fort" added in its place." Dunedin in New Zealand represents an attempt at the original form.[Edinburgh etymology, Edinburgh origin, 英语词源]
