Several other cities have names which mean "New City":
* Carthage (Etruscan *Carθaza from the Punic qrt-ḥdšt (𐤒𐤓𐤕 𐤇𐤃𐤔𐤕)
"new city", implying it was a "new Tyre.)
* Cartagena, Spain (orig. Carthago Nova, i.e. New Carthage, or
lit. New New City)
* Naples (From Latin: Neapolis, from Ancient Greek: Νεάπολις,
romanized: Neápolis, lit. 'new city'.)
* Nablus (in West Bank, formerly Flavia Neapolis)
* Chiang Mai, Thailand (เชียงใหม่)
* MANY other examples with Names beginning Nová-, Neu-, Nev-, New,
Nov-, Nieuw-, Ny- etc.
"Chiang Mai" originally referred to just the city's inner square mile
surrounded by wall and moat. English speakers now generally
refer to this innermost "New City" as "the Old City."
