| HL is one of the oddest consonant clusters to start any name or word with; hlots of us hlive with it. |
Hlocation
There's always someone naming a place with the HL thing.
Click on the maps below to find Hlists of places in
these countries with HL names. This is almost certainly
the most comprehensive hlist of HL name places in the
world.
There are only 14 maps below because there are only
14 nations on earth that have HL place names. Eastern
Europe is perhaps no surprise. The Czech Republic wins
the prize hands down. Oddly, however, South Africa
comes in a strong second. And Burma is number three.
Before going back to Slovakia as number four. Iceland is
perhaps the most surprising.
Of course, the United States is not to be wholly left out
of the picture -- but there's only 2 places. Yep, just two.
One is in Texas, which then is one more thing for Texans
to be aggressively proud of: Hlavacek Lake

Now, Here's a search I did of the
Geographic Names Database (GNDB)
This website contains millions of names from around
the world. HL is a tinsy-weenie drop in the hlump of
names.
You can go to this website and search by just plugging
in first few letter combinations. So I did:
Hla, Hle, Hli, Hlo, Hlu, Hly and also Hlw and Hll
World Wide Geographic HL Names
I wound up with this world wide count
333 place names starting with HLA
120 place names starting with HLE
139 place names starting with HLI
110 place names starting with HLO
108 place names starting with HLU
12 place names starting with HLY
31 place names starting with HLW
2, with three variants, starting with HLL
Now here's how it broke down by country:
One that surprised me:
94 places names in Iceland

32 Places in Thailand
