@ obi_jon - 27.06.20 - 03:39pm So it's the city that is being pronounced wrongly? If the insurance company and the city both take their names from the mythical Liver(Lie - ver) birds, then why is the city pronounced Liv - er - pool and not Lie - ver - pool? Liverpool is correctly pronounced ....liver was old English for muddy ...pol for pool ....the river does silt up ,I used to sit and watch the dredgers keeping the channels clear ....why the Ins group pronounced it the other way was probably aesthetics |

@ alanball - 27.06.20 - 04:17pm The name comes from the Old English lifer, meaning thick or muddy water, and pl, meaning a pool or creek, and is first recorded around 1190 as Liuerpul. According to the Cambridge Dictionary of English Place-Names, The original reference was to a pool or tidal creek now filled up into which two streams drained. The place appearing as Leyrpole, in a legal record of 1418, may also refer to Liverpool. Other origins of the name have been suggested, including elverpool, a reference to the large number of eels in the Mersey while another such suggestion is derivation from Welsh llyvr pwl, apparently meaning expanse or confluence at the pool. The adjective Liverpudlian is first recorded in 1833. Snap |
