Well, I haven't started to really name places in my conculture, but, i
decided that many towns in the Saalangal's world are named after patron
deities, or the towns specialization, like the main city, and harbor town
of Tasok, which means "harbor".

In California, most of the old colonial towns when the state was Alta
California, keep their Spanish designations, even though most residents,
unless they know Spanish, dont know what the names mean. The mission towns
are named after the Feast day/ Saint that had a festival the day the
mission was founded, like Mission San Carlos Borromeo De Carmelo. The town
now takes the name "Carmel". Same with another Mission town 30 miles from
here, which is named Nuestra Señora De La Soledad, but is now called
Soledad. Monterey, the original capital of Alta California was named after
the Viceroy of Spain at the time, who I think had the name Monte Del Rey,
but the town is now called Monterey.
