"Auchtembeddie" thanks for telling me the oriin of this word which I always want to know from I was 7yrs old and now I'm 21 hearing about this place and pasting there to go to the famous Noisy River in the neighboring district of Oxford, I always miss spelt it "Occtimbeddy" untill I finally I read the sign and with 1 look I could spell it with my eyes closed

[@blackbway]

Amazing you can spell such a unique word, but simple words like (passing) and (origin) is giving you a hard time.

[@blackbway]

Askinnish Hanover. Story has it that a visitor came to the village and was asking questions. Some of the history including the name of the village was unknown to the younger folks and someone suggested that he asked Mr. Kennish, an elder who lived there a long time. ( Mi noh know massah, Ass-Kennish!)

Thoroughly enjoyed this, loved learning of these names and the history behind them thank you very much... Now fi part two! 😉

[@kennoybrown3946]

These names are what makes Jamaica so unique and the history behind it. You also have Ringtail Hall in St Elizabeth which is derived from birds with ringtail seen in the area and Barbeque Bottom in the Cockpit Country (a Barbeque in Jamaican terms is a deep sinkhole/depression of limestone)

[@EliteJamaica]

Blessings and thanks for those additional names, thank you for watching

[@migellwedderburn5706]

I left the island many years ago, however, this topic was about names of places. How about a road sign that stuck out in my that reads "Undertakers Loves Overtakers Drive Carefully". I don't remember where I saw it but it was some place on the north coast.

[@ellihall2266]

Please do create a Part 2. Many of us would love to know some more about Jamaica. I had good teachers, they thought us about the counties ie., Cornwall, Middlesex and surrey etc and Vespucci and Columbus etc, etc,. I am very interested.

[@ellihall2266]

Meant to say, they taught us, not "thought " about the counties, Cornwall Middlesex and surrey .

That is one story, however the one I know is, in the early days because of the frequent rainfall in the area the land was continuously weeping water hence the name Porous.
