What's in a name? Well, exactly 58 letters, if the name happens to be Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, the longest place name in the United Kingdom and one of the longest village names in the world.
Located on the island of Anglesey in northwest Wales, the village was first known by the somewhat shorter Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll, but acquired the longer moniker as a way to draw railway tourists in the 1860s. The 19th-century strategy has been paying dividends since, as travellers keep journeying to the place for photo-ops next to the oversized railway station sign.
长为58个字母的名字使这个小村庄成为了英国名字最长的村庄。
这个村庄的全称是Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch,位于威尔士西北部的安格尔西岛,这个村庄最初名字是Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll,但在19世纪60年代时为了吸引铁路游客而取了这个长名字。这个19世纪的策略一直都很奏效,因为一直都有旅客为了和旁边超长的火车站牌合照而来到这里。
