How many places are named 'Urbana'?
Urbana, Illinois, was named after Urbana, Ohio, which was named after Urbanna, Virginia. Urbanus means city dweller and was the name of eight Popes. But: Urbanna, Virginia means "City of Anne" and was named after Queen Anne of England.
(This question occurred to me because I noticed Maryland has a town named Urbana.)
And there's one in Venezuela. I imagine that had something to do with honoring a Pope.
