Well, I wasn't (largely because I didn't know it existed), but here's a little challenge for you North American Orcadia listers: how many Orcadian place-names can you find in North America? Or let's widen it out: how many Orcadian place-names are there anywhere in the world? There is an Orkney Springs in Virginia. I went down there one day to check it out and it is a very quaint village. Nobody I spoke with knew the origin of the name but there are natural springs that people from all over the USA used to come to bathe in. Other reasonsfor the name: there was a Scottish doctor who was very influential in the community and/or it was named after the Earl of Orkney. My brother says there is an Orphir in Egypt.
