Sarlat

Recommended Posts

I have a particular fascination with place names and always look them up.  Sarlat originates from Latin serrum/latum, which means broad hill.  However, I've always been interested in the La Caneda suffix and this too comes from the Latin, canetum, which means place planted with reeds.  So now we know.  Though, of course, none of this helps TU with her definition of sarlat and I've probably just made myself a strong candidate for the "posts that get up our nose" award, ie people who reply with something totally irrelevant.  Sorry.  M
