The source behind the name
USGS GNIS Populated Place names in all 50 states and DC. Features in the historical extract or explicitly named historical are excluded; duplicate decision records with identical identities and coordinates are collapsed. GNIS points identify names, not legal or neighborhood boundaries, current occupancy, school attendance or a statistical population. Nearby Census places and tracts remain separately named geographies. Name completeness and currency vary; this is not a claim to include every locally used neighborhood name.

USGS description & history
State Capital of Maryland, located along the Severn River, about 37 km (23 mi) south southeast of Baltimore. (US-T121)
Known as Providence when founded by Puritan settlers fleeing Virginia about 1650. Also known as Town Land at Proctors after settler Michael Proctor, and in 1694, when it became the State Capital, the community was known as Anne Arundel Town, to honor the wife of Cecil Calvert, the second Lord Baltimore. The following year the name was changed to ?? with the encouragement of Governor Franis Nicholson to honor Anna Stuart who became Queeen Anne of England. Transliterated, the name Annapolis means Anne's City. As the community grew it was sometimes referred to as "The Athens of America" or "The Paris of America." In more recent years known also as Crabtown. (US-T121)
