incomplete map
There are two cities called Sikandrabad & Secunderabad in India and I thought they were after Alexander since he is called Sikander in hindi-urdu but I got to know those were some other rulers. Basically Alexander was called Iskander in west asia, which led to the word Sikander in Farsi meaning warrior. This became a more general title for muslim rulers to take in the Indian Subcontinent. And there are two cities named after two such Sikanders so yea fun fact ig?? ☕️✨️
Funny, neither Greece nor North Macedonia.
I don’t think Bulgaria should be on this map.
There is also a town in Kosovo, Skenderaj. It is named after Albanian lord, Skenderbeg, who got the name after Alexander the great.
Can you also name the cities please?
Greece not labelled because Macedonia
I was born in one of these cities Alexandretta / Iskenderun LOL
Angola?
Israel has no cities but a fuck ton of streets
There is Alexandroupolis in eastern Greece. Altough it was named after King of Greece not Alexander the great.
Secunderabad, India is named after Sikandar Jah, who was named after Alexander the Great, so technically its named after Alexander?
Alexander atoll in Tonga
Aleksinac, Serbia
