The Places After Which the Brands Were Named

Add to my lists | Print this list

Ok we all know the products but do we know the places they came from?

It’s an open list, so please help! Add some!

This is still the non-consumables list. Food and drink will require their own (very long) lists. (This list is of towns, regions, landmarks and natural formations that products take their brand name directly from. Not indirectly such as from abbriviations and not from nationalities)

(But if Wikipedia doesn’t have an article on both the product and the place please add one there so that we can share these with you)
