Re: Have anyone visited Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch?

Why would they even use a name this long?

Exactly!It is so confusing and hard to pronounce it ,i think that who ever name that village was crazy.It seams that the name has a meaning :
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch name means "Saint Mary's Church (Llanfair) in the clearing (pwll) white hazel (gwyngyll) next (goger) fast stream (y chwyrndrobwll) and St. Tysilio (llantysilio) red cave (gogogoch)."

If i may ask what language is it..?

Welsh language -spoken throughout Wales, in English border towns, and in the Chubut province of Argentina

really quite fascinating..! I thought it was just random name but now after knowing that it has some meaning behind it makes more sense.

We have the village with the longest name we should find the town/village with the shortest name .
