Every city’s name has a story behind it. Most get their name from a point of interest, a river, a mountain, or from a person who influenced, discovered, or ruled the town in the first place. Basically, something that makes sense.
How come then some cities have got the most random names ever? Why is there a city in Turkey called Batman? Or another one called Beer Bottle Crossing in Idaho? And again, one called Bird-in-Hand in Pennsylvania? We could go on forever because these are not even the weirdest ones!
You’re probably asking yourself what they were thinking when they named these places. Well, we got interested and tried to find out how many other cities have got a weird name. You know, just to satisfy our endless curiosity. The results were hilarious, so we collected them in a list of the most random city names ever! Scroll down to see if you know any of them, and let us know which one is the funniest to you!
