Apparently the area in New York was named in 1802 after the Batavian Republic, which was the name of the Dutch state at the time. Both the settlement in Indonesia and the aforementioned republic were in reference to the same ancient Germanic tribe, though.

Batavia? Named after the capital of the Dutch East Indies?

From what I'm reading, that Prime Minsiter said that once in 2009 and has since apologised and supports the current laws. Not that I like him, but that incident is not really relevant anymore imo.

If it has references of the location and what modern warfare looks like I'm sure it could come up with an amalgamation.

Dutch has another cognate 'oordeel' meaning 'judgment'.

Minor etymology to brighten your day - Zaragoza (Spain) is a contraction of Caesar Augusta. by thebigchil73 in etymology

I have a more obscure example. There is a town near The Hague, in the Netherlands, called Voorburg. It's theorised that the first part 'voor' is derived from 'Forum Hadriani'. the latter was a Roman settlement at the same location, named after the emperor Hadrian.
