Ancient Greece. They named a city after a general. There have since been other Syracuses - just like Paris, for example.

This is as good as it gets. It is a city of southeast Sicily, Italy, on the Ionian Sea south-southeast of Catania. Founded by colonists from Corinth in the eighth century B.C., it reached the height of its power in the fifth century but fell to the Romans in 212.
It is also obviously a city of central New York east-southeast of Rochester. Originally a trading post and saltworks, it is now a manufacturing and educational center.

Comes from the Scilian city of Siracusa, founded by the Carthaginians.
Syracuse was founded in 734 or 733 BC by Greek settlers from Corinth, led by the oecist (colonizer) Archias, who called it Sirako, referring to a nearby swamp.
