Salop is an old name for Shropshire, a county in the west of England, next to Wales. For many years the county council even used Salop as the official name; in 1980 they went back to Shropshire, which is what people actually say. You may still see Salop on old documents, badges, and maps, and a person from there can be called a Salopian. The name is a , Latin-flavoured form of the old name of , the county town. Everyday English has dropped it, so it now feels historical or official. Though actually, one reason the old name fell out of favour is that it looks and sounds like a rude word in French — not a happy label to print on a county.
