"Also, if said quickly, Newark
sounds very similar to New York, but as I don't know what Newark
means (New Ark?),"
Of course, like New York, newark is just a copy -- identical in this case - -- of a British town -- and the name does indeed come from New Ark -- which is what black nationalists of the seventies called their city! So, under the right circumstances, original names can return to "meaning!"
