Thanks for that. I recall that Gotham was originally coined by Washington Irving as a nickname for the city, but I'd forgotten the derivation, which actually goes back to England. I wonder how many people will get the connection?

Where in the world did the name come from? Apparently, it's the wry literal translation of 'Gotham.'

I read this from KiKaEats' blog. :)
