Al Minya (also AL-Minia) is one of the governorates of Upper Egypt. The name originates from the chief city of the governorate, originally known in Sahidic Coptic as tmoone and in Bohairic as thmone , meaning “the residence”, in reference to a monastery formerly in the area.
Albuquerque, the most populous city in New Mexico, was founded in 1706 and named for the Spanish king's viceroy in Mexico City, the Duke of Albuquerque. The city is built around Old Town, which features a Spanish-style central plaza and the gorgeous San Felipe Neri Parish.
