The city of York, in northern England, at the time of the Roman Empire, was called ""Eboracum/Eburacum"", named after the ancient Celtic place name *""Eborakon"" (Place of Yew Trees), so the old name of York is etymologically related to the city of Évora. Alternative hypotheses are that the name is derived from ""oro"", ""aurum"", (gold) as the Romans had extensive gold mining in Portugal; or it may named after ivory workers, but these two hypotheses are much less likely than the first one, because the name"

"History of Yorkshire Yorkshire is a historic county of England, centred on the county town of York. The region was first occupied after the retreat of the ice age around 8000 BC. During the first millennium AD it was occupied by Romans, Angles and Vikings. The name comes from ""Eborakon"" (c. 150) an old Brythonic name which probably derives from ""Efor"" or ""the place of the yew-trees."" Many Yorkshire dialect words and aspects of pronunciation derive from old Norse due to the Viking influence in this region. The name ""Yorkshire"", first appeared in writing in the ""Anglo-Saxon Chronicle"" in 1065."
