“Which himself named it”
Words good authoring there
back in the day news papers were like long tweets.
it cost extra for more words/characters.
so they remove/replace ones that didn't break context. 👈 like I did here. removed 8 words but preserved the idea.
But just saying “which he named” would be less characters and make more sense
Maybe a post editor hastily deleted some words?
