Lincoln

The now widespread name, Lincoln originated in a city in eastern England. Its name is a contraction of the Latin Lindum Colonia, which was the name of a colony for veteran Roman soldiers. When the English counties (they were then called shires) were established in around the eleventh century, Lincoln became the principal town of Lincolnshire.
