Fakta

From the person behind the popular Youtube channel, NameExplain, comes the second volume of his bestselling book The Origin of Names, Words and Everything in Between. This new book is a fun, interesting and educational journey through the world of etymology. It covers a huge array of names from a variety of topic areas, and includes a bunch of random facts behind the names. From first names, to bodies of water—there's no name big or small, important or obscure that won't be explained.

Find fun facts. Presented in a light and entertaining manner, The Origin of Names compels you to learn a ton of things you didn't know you wanted to know. Unlike a dictionary, everything in this book is easy to understand and can be listened to from start to finish, or in short bursts. It's also a lot more fun—Patrick explains each name with jokes and quips you're bound to enjoy. Be the know-it-all you always wanted to be.

In The Origin of Names you'll:

● Learn fascinating word origins and bizarre name meanings

● Be able to entertain yourself and friends with random facts

● Gain honor and renown for your unrivaled knowledge of etymology
