This is a list of geographic acronyms and initialisms.
That is, it's a list of the names of cities, towns, lakes, and other geographic places that are derived from acronyms.
Acronyms are abbreviations formed by the initial letter or letters of the words that make up a multi-word term.
Many of these names were the result of neighborhood rebranding, first in New York, and then in other cities.
The names were mostly coined in imitation of Soho in Manhattan.
