The Roman name for York was Eburacum. After they took over, the Anglo-Saxons shortened the name to Eofric, then the Vikings renamed it Jorvik, and finally when the Anglo-Saxons (English) got it back, it was called York. Since the last name had only one syllable, everyone stuck with that.

Alas, poor York, I'd heard of it Berosus. The Emperor Constantine was crowned there, if memory serves.

Thanks a fool in paradise and Berosus.
there were over 60 Roman skeletons found under the old swimming pool
At first they thought they'd found another one nearby, but it turned out to be Keith Richards on a chaise lounge.
