I think this is the same in pretty much every country (well, once you add in people’s names, like Jacksonville or Virginia), but it’s a little more difficult to find because you have to use an etymology dictionary instead of just looking up the meaning of Chinese characters in a regular dictionary of that language because they’re are still in current use.

For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_Kingdom_county_name_etymologies?wprov=sfla1
