The etymology of Aberdeen is that of the name first used for the city of Aberdeen, Scotland, which then bestowed its name to other Aberdeens around the world, as Aberdonians left Scotland to settle in the New World and other colonies.
Aberdeen is pronounced /ˌæbərˈdiːn/ ⓘ in Received Pronunciation, and [ˌabərˈdin] ⓘ (with a short a sound) in Scottish Standard English. The local Doric pronunciation, [ˌeːbərˈdin] ⓘ (with a long ay sound), is frequently rendered Aiberdein.
