Aberdeen

Dee meets sea

The many places in the world called Aberdeen are all named in honor of the oldest and biggest one, the city and county of Aberdeen in Scotland.

Things that came originally from Aberdeen in Scotland also bear the name, such as a particular kind of dog (Aberdeen terrier), cattle (Aberdeen Angus), or fishing hook.
