This article is grossly misnamed. It is actually a list of place name suffix definitions, not place name origins. The latter would be a list of explanations of proper nouns, telling us what Michigan and Paris mean. --Kaz 15:40, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Celtic origins

It seems that several of the words listed as of Celtic origin are previously from Latin - e.g. capel and castell for starters. Sources seem to agree that very few Celtic words have survived. I think this section needs to be overhauled.TobyJ 21:21, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
