The origin of new york's name

New york means "New Yorkshire". After the Anglo-Dutch War, the Netherlands was defeated and forced to cede New Amsterdam to Britain, which happened to be the birthday of the Duke of York, the younger brother of King charles ii of England, so it was renamed new york as a gift to the Duke of York. In addition, at the beginning of the 20th century, new york was a brand-new world for immigrants, and opportunities were everywhere. Therefore, new york is often nicknamed "The Big Apple", which means "It is beautiful and delicious, and everyone wants a bite".

New york has an official Latin name Novum Eboracum, which is used as the city emblem, meaning "New Abram". Abelraken was the old Latin name of York during the Roman Empire.
