Reply to "New York - The State And City Must Change Their Names"

Sorry, but whoever wrote the Daily Caller article pulled the info from an unknown orifice. Here's the 411 on the name York:

The word York (Old Norse: Jórvík) derives from the Latinised name for the city, variously rendered as Eboracum, Eburacum or Eburaci. The first mention of York by this name is dated to circa 95–104 AD as an address on a wooden stylus tablet from the Roman fortress of Vindolanda in Northumberland.[4]
