Washington originated in the UK as well…..it’s name came from a town in the land of the Why Aye! Near Sunderland. I don’t think they were plagiarised though. I think the original settlers came from that particular town in the UK and named the new place after the one they came from. New Hampshire comes to mind..

Ha - try this for size - most common city names in the US

1	Washington	88
2	Springfield	41

That, BTW, is why The Simpsons is set in Springfield.

I don’t think they were plagiarised though. I think the original settlers came from that particular town in the UK and named the new place after the one they came from.

You get that everywhere people colonised foreign lands, or moved to (nominally) settled countries to make a better life for themselves.
