What does the word "Lincoln" mean in English or French?

The word Lincoln is neither English nor French, but comes from a native Celtic language (Old British), which means lake, especially the open area of the Witham River.

in ancient Greece, the geographer Ptolemy called it Lindon, and the ancient Romans called it Lindum.

Later, the Romans used this place as the residence of retired soldiers and wrote LindumColonia, which means "Colonia".

in p>73, the local people called it lindocolina, and later it was gradually simplified to the present writing "Lincoln", which consists of British Lin and Latin coln.

Later, many people living in the local area took place names as their surnames, and moved to various places with the migrants.
