  Burgundy in central France derives its name from the Burgunds, who settled there around the fifth century AD after crossing the Rhine.
  France receives the name from the Francs.
  Dover's name comes from the Dovorians, a group of Britons who introduced cider to the Roman Army.
  The Penines receive their name from the Appenini in Italy, a stretch of mountains going from north to south; the area in England reminded the Roman legionaires of their own country.
