When William Penn put together two Greek words ("philos", meaning "love" and "delphos", meaning "brother"), he named the city of Philadelphia. Wanting to forge a new type of land founded on those ideals, since he himself had fled religious persecution from England. However, the name is not just random word play. Penn envisioned the city in Pennsylvania as one where people of all backgrounds could come together in celebration. Having survived it's own share of adversity, Philly is a proud city of cultural diversity and rich neighborhoods. A melting pot of music and the arts.
