There are a number of places in the UK called 'Soho' (in
Carmarthenshire, London, Sandwell, Somerset at least).  Where does this
name come from?

Recommendations for 'origins of place names' books will be welcome.

But you see, I can believe a thing without understanding it.
It's all a matter of training.
--Lord Peter Wimsey in Dorothy L Sayers' _Have His Carcase_
