8. Thanks to Countessa for the wonderful expaination of this, 10 points girlie when I'm able to give them to ya. The name derives from its original location on a street off Whitehall called Great Scotland Yard. The exact origins of this name are unknown, though a popular explanation is that it was the former site of the residence of the Scottish kings (when staying in England) or their ambassadors, prior to the union of England and Scotland.

Don't believe in giving much time for a fair amount of answers do ya? O and actually New York was named in honor of James, Duke of York (Yorkshire) who later became King James II. Just think, the state could have been called New Shropshire if that's where the guy was the Duke of.
