    The longest place name in the UK but outside of Wales is 'Meallan Liath Coire Mhic Dhubhghaill' in Scotland.

    The longest place name in the world is 'Krung thep mahanakhon bovorn ratanakosin mahintharayutthaya mahadilok pop noparatratchathani burirom udomratchanivetmahasathan amornpiman avatarnsathit sakkathattiyavisnukarmprasit' in Thailand.

    The long Welsh name 'Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch' ranks fourth in the world.

    What is the shortest place name in Wales?

    This place, once a "seeing place," has seen it all: first a stronghold, it's been a walking place, a drinking place, a disbarking place, a swimming place (but not for people), a singing place, and now an embarking place. Oddly enough, never a drumming place, though virtually in a former shooting place that still retains the name. Named for a politician, then renamed horticulturally, it's again named for the politician, no relation to other more recent ones of the same name. Where in the United States is it?

    Many place names are named after people but what does Wales mean?
