Eboracum
The name 'York' comes from the Vikings who took control of it. They renamed it 'Yorvik'.The Angles called it "Eoforwic" before this.(and before this the Romans had named it Eboracum).
Eboracum was York in the Roman world
The modern city of York was called Eboracum by the Romans. This word is also occasionally spelled "Eburacum."A further Latin word in connection with the English City of York is;Ebor. [ˈiːbɔː]abbreviation for(Christianity / Ecclesiastical Terms) Eboracensis [Latin: (Archbishop) of York]
Legio VI Victrix was stationed for a very long period in Spain, earning it the title Hispaniensis. It was posted to the province of Britannia in 119 AD, replacing Legio IX Hispana at Eboracum (York).I am certain that York was never known as "home of the sixth legion" in Roman times, but it may have been given that name in modern times.
