What's in a name? Well, exactly 58 letters, if the name happens to be Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, the longest place name in the United Kingdom and one of the longest village names in the world.

Located on the island of Anglesey in northwest Wales, the village was first known by the somewhat shorter Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll, but acquired the longer moniker as a way to draw railway tourists in the 1860s. The 19th-century strategy has been paying dividends since, as travellers keep journeying to the place for photo-ops next to the oversized railway station sign.

長為58個(gè)字母的名字使這個(gè)小村莊成為了英國名字最長的村莊。

這個(gè)村莊的全稱是Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch，位于威爾士西北部的安格爾西島，這個(gè)村莊最初名字是Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll，但在19世紀(jì)60年代時(shí)為了吸引鐵路游客而取了這個(gè)長名字。這個(gè)19世紀(jì)的策略一直都很奏效，因?yàn)橐恢倍加新每蜑榱撕团赃叧L的火車站牌合照而來到這里。
