English Lane
From Pittsburgh Streets
| English Lane | |
|---|---|
| Neighborhood | Squirrel Hill South |
| Origin of name | Thomas English |
This lane appears, unlabeled, in the 1872 Hopkins atlas, running along the southern edge of the property of Thomas English,[1] for whom it is named.[2][3]
Bob Regan includes "English" in his "Streets of Pittsburgh" crossword puzzle, clued as "The people of England, the native language of the United states [sic]."[4] Putting aside the fact that English is, of course, not a native language of North America, this is only a dictionary definition of the word English and gives no information about the origin of the name.
