<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cubenewb, post: 1012964, member: 25644&quot;]Man I was just reading about these things, I like the debate over &#039;Geir&#039;s Isle&#039; and &#039;Nova Caesarea,&#039; Although at this point I&#039;m pretty sure historians support the Geir&#039;s Isle more than that latter. For those of you unfamiliar, some people believe &#039;Nova Caesarea&#039; is where the name New Jersey came from. Linguistic erosion of the word &quot;Caesarea&quot; yielding &quot;Jersey&quot; is a bit of a stretch though.... So if I&#039;m not mistaken the current opinion is that New Jersey came from it being called &quot;Geir&#039;s Ey&quot;, with Geir being an old Norse viking and &quot;ey&quot; translating to island. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Tangent. lol[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
