There is a village on the Isle of Anglesey, UK named Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
This is the longest, officially recognized, village name in the world and the third longest geographical name in the world. When translated to from Welsh to English we literally get the following: Parish of St. Mary (Llanfair) in Hollow (pwll) of the White Hazel (gwyn gyll) near (go ger) the rapid whirlpool (y chwyrn drobwll) and the parish of St. Tysilio (Llantysilio) with a red cave ([a]g ogo[f] goch).
