About

From the person behind the popular Youtube channel, NameExplain, comes the second volume of his best-selling 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 read from start to finish, or in short bursts. It's also a lot more fun to read - Patrick explains each name with jokes and quips you're bound to enjoy, and it's full of pictures too! 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
