Does the town of Mainz get its name from the river Main?
Its actually an evolution of the roman name Moganticum which changed through the centuries to what we know as Mainz today.
There is actually a stupid joke with the name Mainz (you need to be pretty good at German to understand it as it is a play on words (and it is German humour which makes it even less funny).
There are two prostitutes standing on a bridge, overlooking the city of Mainz.
Prostitute 1 "Mainz is a shithole"
Prostitue 2 "Meins as well"
Yeah I know...at least I tried.
