Top 8 Places with the Funniest Names in the World

The humorous names of the places below may make you laugh or blush, but their meanings are not actually what the names suggest. In France, there is a place named "condom" but its meaning has nothing to do with that sensitive object, or in Oxford (England), there is a street named "crotch"... Let's find out with us the funniest places in the world.

1. Hell, Na Uy

Hell in English means hell, a peaceful village in the country of Norway. This name was given by the founder of the town in the southwest of the country, but in fact in the old Norwegian dictionary, ''hellir'' is translated as ''overhang''. In some other places, Hell also means the coldest place in the world and this town is almost frozen for a third of the year. Hell is a village in the Lånke area of ​​Stjørdal municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located in the west of the municipality, about 3 km (2 mi) south of the town of Stjørdalshalsen. The village is 1.04 square kilometers and has a population of about 1,589 people and a population density of 1,528 people per km2.

Hell village has become a small tourist attraction because of its name, as visitors often take pictures in front of the railway station sign. A smaller building above the railway station was given the name God's Expedition, which is the archaic spelling of "cargo handling". (godsekspedisjon would be the spelling in contemporary Norwegian). The name Hell comes from the Old Norse word hellir, meaning "overhang" or "cliff cave". It has a more commonly used homonym in modern Norwegian meaning "lucky". The Old Norse word Hel is the same as today's English Hell and as a proper noun, Hel is the ruler of Hel. In modern Norwegian, the word hell means leader. British punk band The Boys recorded their third album in the village, and the resulting album was called To Hell with the Boys.

2. Middelfart, Denmark

Middelfart is located in central Denmark, fart in English means "sniff". Middelfart is a town in central Denmark with a population of approximately 15,922. The town is the capital of the Municipality of Middelfart on the island of Funen. It is not known when the town was founded but it certainly owes its existence to its location at the narrowest point on the Little Belt. The town was granted its first charters in the late 13th century at a time when fishing played an important role in addition to its ferry route to Snoghøj in Jutland. From the Middle Ages, the town seems to have specialised in catching harbor porpoise. In the 16th century, livestock exports were also significant.

After the Swedish War of the 17th century, the town lost its foreign export privileges and faced competition from Fredericia on the other side of the belt, which not only had a ferry route to the Strib but also levied customs duties on traffic across the Little Belt. In the 18th century, income from dolphin fishing declined but in the 19th century, with the establishment of its own harbour in 1836, conditions improved, especially thanks to the growing trade in agricultural products from the surrounding areas. From the mid-19th century, small industries began to develop, especially iron foundries. The railway between Middelfart and Nyborg opened in 1865, bringing further prosperity, although it connected with the ferry from the Strib rather than the ferry from Middelfart.
