Vauxhall

/ˈvɔːkshɔːl/ proper noun/noun

Definition

A district in South London, England, or the automobile brand that originated there (now owned by Opel/Stellantis).

Etymology

From 'Faukeshall' or 'Falkes' Hall,' named after a medieval resident Falkes de Breauté. It became 'Vauxhall' through Norman French pronunciation shifts, and the car company took the area name as their brand in 1903.

Kelly Says

Vauxhall cars were actually cheaper, more popular-market competitors to Rolls-Royce—the irony is that most people now know Vauxhall as a car brand rather than as a London neighborhood, which is the reverse of how most place names work!
