Cynthiana, Kentucky

Surname Initials as Identifying Logos ~ V:  The letter V is the 21st most frequently used letter in the English language. Geographers love it because it signals so many different surnames that begin with Van, which is then followed by the name of the place where the ancestors originated. In this case it means "from Hook," which at least narrows us down to the Dutch-speaking world. Battle Grove Cemetery. Yes, geographers are place-lovers. [2015]
