Pennsylvania is a small village in South Gloucestershire, England. It is situated on the A46 near the historic cities of Bristol (to the west) and Bath (to the south).[1]

Name origin[edit]

The second part of the name, 'sylvania', comes from the Latin word for 'woodland', silva.[2] The first part of the name, 'penn', likely comes either from the British (Celtic) word pen, meaning 'hill', or a personal name.[2]
