  This text reveals the origins and meanings of thousands of familiar names, from personal to place names, and from mythological characters to astronomical names. A guide to accents and pronunciation for some of the 80 languages used in the dictionary, from Afrikaans to Zyrian, is also included. This should be useful as a reference for anyone interested in the history and development of language.
