Boston

boston boʻston Boʻston English <dab> Etymology The US city is named after the English town (from which several prominent colonists had come), which itself is sometimes said to be named as a contraction of en Botolph's town or en Botolph's stone (the name en Botolph itself coming from en ang Botwulf, from ang boda + ang wulf). However, this is uncertain.
