What's in a name? PHILADELPHIA..."The City of Brotherly Love". A mockery of the original intention or true?

The namer was William Penn

The Greek word for LOVE is     Philos  
The Greek word for BROTHER  Adelphos

Ever been there? Years ago I vacationed there for a week with my then-fiancee who was born there. It was a LOVELY city. Maybe it still is.

How much does the name of a city influence its essence?

Los Angeles

City of Angels?

Hardly.

    Was there 18 months ago. Nice city especially to the west, and natch I had to go to Macy's (wannamaker) 

    The original was of course biblical.
