The following 12 place names are longer than a giraffe's neck! We have no idea who gave such names to these places. The names are ludicrously hilarious, though! Are they even names or some kind of prank played by people of the past? No one knows! These long place names sound so dubious that an average person sees them as an internet hoax. Trust us; they are real and authentic. Scroll down to read the 12 longest place names in the world now. Hey, don't ask us how to pronounce their names! We don't know that, either.

#12 Svalbardsstrond

Glad we weren't born in Svalbarðsstrandarhreppur, or else we would have had hard time remembering or writing the name of this place. Svalbarðsstrandarhreppur is a municipality located in Northeastern region of Iceland. It's a very small community with about 400 people living there. Located adjacent to lake, amidst snowy mountains, Svalbarðsstrandarhreppur does seem to be a magical place apparently. The good thing is that this place also has an alternative name, svalbardsstrond.
