Ever wonder how places got it's name, one named for the king (King Philip II of Spain) is the Philippines and most of the places here was named by Portuguese / Spaniard. All places have historical origins, but there are place-names that are weird, funny and not appealing to it's English meaning. Though this places have no etymological connection to the meaning in English.
Among the places that top the list of weird English names starting from kind words like:

To awful words such as:
