Washington

en-proper noun

Washington (countable and uncountable, plural Washingtons)

Washington (the town in Tyne and Wear, northeast England): probably from the Old English place name Hwæssingatūn (literally “a settlement of the household of *Hwæssa”), from *Hwæssa (a Saxon chieftain's name) + -ing (“belonging to”) + tūn (“homestead, settlement”). It was attested in 1096 as Wasindone. Hwæssa is of uncertain origin, said to possibly correspond to waþ (“hunt”) + sige (“victory”), or possibly related to hwæte (“wheat”). There are other theories; more on Wikipedia.
The surname derives from the town, and most places in the United States are named for George Washington.

Some time ago, during a tour in Wales, I was much struck by the name of a little village in Anglesea. The village is insignificant enough, but it is surely as well described as the most ambitious place could desire. The name runs: "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch."

1905–1906, Reverend M. A. Bayfield, “Discussion of Mme. X.'s Greek Script”, in Journal of the Society for Psychical Research, volume 12, Society for Psychical Research, page 241:

"Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" in northern Wales was one the U.K.'s warmest locations on Tuesday at 21 C.

2015 September 9, Lauren O'Neil, “Weatherman pronounces 'Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch' flawlessly on live TV”, in Canadian Broadcasting Corporation:

A village in Anglesey, Wales, United Kingdom, known for having the longest place name in Europe, and the longest English-language (albeit borrowed from Welsh) settlement name in the world.

Secondly, after a weakening of the vowel quality in the more weakly-stressed syllable holm, this ending was misanalysed as the similar-sounding toponymic suffix, -ham, meaning home or farm.
