A number of places in the world, like the places named after places in other parts of
Britain, were named after the
Channel Islands, or some place therein. Not all are named directly for one of the islands, but are often named indirectly, such as for another place on the list.
Ramea, Newfoundland and Labrador — named for Le Ramée, a neighborhood/street in
Saint Peter Port, the capital of Guernsey[10]
Sarnia, Ontario — named by Lieutenant Governor Sir John Colborne after Guernsey, where he'd previously been lieutenant governor (Sarnia is the Latin name for Guernsey)[9]
