I don't have a cite for this, but a mythology professor of mine in college researched the etymology of the town Gnaw Bone, Indiana (USA). If he is to be believed, the name originates from the French settlers calling the town "New Narbonne" and the residents of the town (who were not French speakers, and the majority of whom were illiterate) began corrupting the words through common useage. Fast forward a few hundred years and we're left with Gnaw Bone, Indiana. If you feel this doesn't belong in this article, feel free to delete, I just thought it was interesting.--Legomancer 08:21, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
- It could be mentioned but it would need a citation. --Alexxx1 (talk/contribs) 00:18, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
- Narbonne is relevant to Gnaw Bone, Indiana, but not vice versa. --Wetman 18:21, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Added the emirate of cordoba. see the article Charles Martel for corroboration. the Arabs were there between the Visigoths and Franks. the town was liberated by his son Peppin II.--Will314159 22:02, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
