Reply to comment by JJohnston015 in TIL Fayetteville AR is named for Fayetteville TN, which is in turn named for Fayetteville NC by Dakar-A

Same in Tennessee - where we have many cities that end in -ville.

Fayetteville is pronounced similarly: 'Faytvul'

Nashville? 'Nashvul'

Knoxville? 'Knoxvul'

Shelbyville? Basically sounds like 'Shovel'
