Windsor

/ˈwɪnzər/ noun

Definition

A town in England famous for Windsor Castle, or referring to the British royal house name adopted in 1917.

Etymology

From Old English 'Windlesoran' meaning winding shore or riverbank with a windlass. The name referred to the meandering Thames River near the settlement.

Kelly Says

The British Royal Family changed their name from the Germanic 'House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha' to 'Windsor' during World War I to sound more English. This purely political rebranding shows how even royal names can be subject to public relations considerations.
