The Atlas of True Names reveals the etymological roots, or original meanings,
of the familiar terms on today's maps of the World, Europe, the British Isles and the United States.
For instance, where you would normally expect to see the Sahara indicated,
the Atlas gives you "The Tawny One", derived from Arab. es-sahra “the fawn coloured, desert”.
True names give these maps a unique and historic twist.
Great to see what the original names where! Especially for those that are similar to its current name and those that are completely irrelevant!
