A place name is tautological if two differently sounding parts of it are synonymous. This often occurs when a name from one language is imported into another and a standard descriptor is added on from the second language. Thus, for example, New Zealand's Mount Maunganui is tautological since "maunganui" is Māori for "great mountain". The following is a list of place names often used tautologically, plus the languages from which the non-English name elements have come.

  • 同義反覆名稱指的是一個名稱的兩個部分以上表達了相同的意思,一般是在翻譯過程或古名傳承中產生,一般是一個普遍名稱專指一個特定事物後,再由其他語言承接後添加該語言中這個普遍名稱的詞綴,而形成同義反覆,例如撒哈拉沙漠是阿拉伯語的沙漠一詞和漢語的沙漠一詞組合而成。 (zh)
