Foote, Patrick: - Patrick Foote was born in London but has since moved to Plymouth in the southwest of England. Patrick always enjoyed learning and has always had a particular interest in language and linguistics. This all resulted in the creation of his popular YouTube channel Name Explain, which started life focusing on uncovering the origins of names but now covers anything and everything language. Name Explain has been a huge success, becoming one of the most popular etymology and language channels on YouTube. When not making YouTube videos or wiring books he enjoys reading, playing board/video games, watching pro wrestling, walking, and wild swimming. \n\n
