Exactly What It Says on the Tin: When a character is referred to pretty much exclusively by where they come from. Or at least, where everyone assumes they're from. The entire name doesn't have to be shared with the place, the hometown can just be part of the nickname, i.e., Troperville Ted or Ted from/of Troperville. This is Truth in Television: if you look in historical documents, you will find that many people were distinguished by where they came from (other common identifiers included trade or profession and distinguishing features). When surnames became common, towns of origin were often assigned as family names. If the person isn't actually from the place they are named for, it can become an Ironic Nickname. This is also one popular means for pen names. Over 500 years ago, this was far more common than not - see Jesus of Nazareth (from Nazareth), Leonardo da Vinci (from Vinci), and many more. See also Lord Country, which overlaps with this often in the names of women who married from one royal family to another (like English queens Catherine of Aragon and Margaret of Anjou, or French queen Anne of Austria). Sub-Trope of In-Series Nickname and Only Known by Their Nickname, and related to Captain Geographic. |

Dragon Age has a few. Anders, from Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening and Dragon Age II, is called Anders because he comes from the kingdom of the Anderfels. Nobody knows what his real name actually is; it's possible that he himself no longer remembers. In Dragon Age: Inquisition, minor side character Fairbanks goes by that name because he was born in a location called the Fair Banks Cottage. His real name can be revealed through a side quest. A number of other minor characters throughout the series have names based on their place of origin, such as Michel de Chevin and Frederic of Serault. |

In Bleach there's Kenpachi Zaraki and Yachiru Kusajishi, both of whom didn't have last names, and so they took the districts they originated from (Zaraki and Kusajishi, respectively). In Kenpachi's case, it's even more so, since Kenpachi is a title given to the strongest Shinigami. So he's really 'The Kenpachi from Zaraki'. | |

The Naked Gun 2 1/2 features a hilarious subversive parody: Hector Savage, one of the baddies in the film, is a former boxer. Joey Chicago is his real name. His stage name as a boxer was Kid Minneapolis. Oh, and he's from Detroit. Another boxer mentioned in the same dialog is Tex Colorado a.k.a. the Arizona Assassin who hailed from North Dakota and who had a brother named South Dakota who somehow came from West Virginia. | |

In Miss Congeniality, a few of the pageant contestants refer to Gracie as 'New Jersey', since she's representing that state in the Miss USA pageant. Some of the commentators and FBI staff will also refer to the other contestants by the state they're representing, and confusion ensues when Gracie calls them by their actual names. | |

One sketch on The Kids in the Hall deals with the "Cincinnati Kid" (not that one), whose father was the Cincinnati Kid until he was born, and who will remain the Cincinnati Kid until he produces offspring of his own. He shows up at a bar in Toronto looking for the "Toronto Kid", and the two square off in a Wimp Fight until the Toronto Kid gets a phone call saying his wife has given birth to the new Toronto Kid... and the Cincinnati Kid goes off in search of him. | |

Ayumu Kasuga in Azumanga Daioh is known almost exclusively as Osaka. This is enforced in-universe by Tomo, who decides to call her that simply because she's a transfer student from Osaka. Also lampshaded/discussed as Tomo declares on the spot that shows have characters from Osaka only known as Osaka (and that such is funny), even though Osaka points out she spent only a year or so of her life in Osaka. However, the name ultimately sticks, to the point that she's listed as that name on the listings for new homerooms at the start of the characters' second year in high school. | |

The Bible: A fairly well-known example is Jesus of Nazareth, sometimes also known as The Nazarene. A few other names in the New Testament and early saints fit this pattern, which is not all that surprising due to some given names being extremely popular, e. g. Joseph of Arimathea and Mary of Egypt. In the case of Mary of Magdala, the nickname became a name in its own right (Magdalena, Maddalena, Madeleine etc.). Averted by Saul of Tarsus, who changed his name to Paul - just Paul. |

Almost every character in Zombieland. At first it's just something that Tallahassee insists on to avoid emotional ties with other survivors, but through the course of the movie, almost every character ends up only being identified by where they are from (or, in the Flash Back, by their apartment numbers), with the only exceptions being The Cameo and, at the end of the movie, Wichita. | |
