A city name, most famously the capital of Jamaica, derived from 'king's town' and referring to a settlement associated with a monarch or important ruler.
From Old English 'cyning' (king) and 'tun' (town or settlement). Kingston, Jamaica was established in 1693 and named by the British for King William III, following the common practice of naming colonial settlements after royalty.
Kingston, Jamaica became a major cultural hub that produced reggae, dancehall, and some of the world's most influential music—so this 'king's town' ended up ruling the global music scene in ways its original colonizers never imagined.
