    Never, ever, ask about "Newport" in England - there are many towns called "Newport"!

    Because.

    Because they were originally two separate villages in two different counties; both named from the Anglo-Saxon Hǣs or Hǣse: "(land overgrown with) brushwood".

    As London expanded, they were subsumed.

    It isn't THAT confusing, one's in Bromley, the others in Hillingdon; and there are plenty of towns that share names.
