The name of the town derived from two of the largest local landowners. These landowners were Tone Goodin and Tone Kenneday and were known by the name of "Tone", which was probably short for "Anthony."〔http://www.laruecounty.org/communities.shtml〕 While several men named Tony besides the two listed above have been put forward as having been the source of the name Tonieville, it was in fact almost certainly named after the town of Tonneville in Normandy. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tonieville, Kentucky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
