A tool that historians and linguists can use to examine the past is toponymy, the study of the names of places. Elements of place names can reveal the language and often the use of the areas by its early inhabitants. It can also reveal the powerful influences at the time the settlement was named, as a personal place name can give evidence of the significance or popularity of a leader to contemporaries or near-contemporaries.
