Washington

The name Washington was brought to England after the Norman conquest. The meaning of Washington can be found from the name Wassingatun, as Washington is an anglicized version of the name Wassingatun, which translates to 'the people to a town named Wassa'. The name Wassingatun was formed from the combination of two words from the Anglo-Saxon language, translated as 'victory' and 'hunt'. Today the town of Washington can be found in the city of Sunderland, in Tyne and Wear, England. In America, Washington was given its name to honour the commander of the Continental Army, whose name was George Washington. He was one of the four Founding Fathers of the United States and won the War of Independence. He was the face of the American Revolution and has been referred to as 'the' Found Father by a number of historians. His story can now be seen in 'Hamilton', the hit Broadway show which tells the story of the Founding Fathers through rap and hip hop.
