Entertainment: I haven't seen it and I have no plans to do so, but USA (through Hulu) is streaming "Oppenheimer," the Christopher Nolan, 2023, blockbuster. One of the top movies ever. I won't see it because I have my own myth of Oppenheimer and don't want to see another interpretation.
The Strait of Hormuz: seeing how easy it is to do these things, President Trump may rename the strait the Trump Strait. Next: Earth's moon -- Elon Musk. Earth? Trump Planet #1.
From wiki, The name Hormuz in the Strait of Hormuz primarily traces back to the Middle Persian pronunciation of Ahura Mazda, the supreme deity of Zoroastrianism. Say it quickly, "ahura mazda" --> "hura maz" --> hor maz --> hor muz --> Hormuz.
Hormuz is both an Hormuz Island and a Hormuz, an Iran city located on that island in southern Iran.
Historical context: the modern island and city inherit their name from Old Hormuz, a major medieval port city originally located on the Iranian mainland that served as the capital of the prosperous Kingdom of Hormuz before shifting to the island.
The Kingdom of Hormuz was exceptionally prosperous because it controlled the strategic maritime chokepoint between the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean.
The waterway—the Strait of Hormuz—was subsequently named after the island and city.
