  1. 1哥倫布（俄亥俄州首府）

    Columbus here is a city: the capital of the US state of Ohio, in the middle of the country. It is also Ohio’s biggest city. Americans stress the middle: cu-LUM-bus. The city was named after Christopher Columbus, the Italian sailor, so the same English name is doing several jobs — the man, a US holiday, and more than one American town. This entry is only Ohio’s capital. If someone says they live in Columbus, they often mean this one, but you still need the state to be sure. The name itself comes from Latin columbus, a dove; , the city in Sri Lanka, is a , the same Latin word by another path.

組成From Latin columbus, “a dove”. Doublet of Colombo. The city name, like the common noun and verb Columbus in other uses, points to the Italian explorer whose family name comes from that Latin word.
