Geographical Names Board

The Geographical Names Board (GNB) is an organization responsible for approving and managing the official names of places, landmarks, and geographical features within a specific region or country. Its main role is to ensure that names are accurate, meaningful, and culturally appropriate. The GNB also maintains maps and databases of these names, helping to standardize naming conventions and prevent confusion. By promoting awareness and respect for the history and significance of place names, the GNB plays a vital role in preserving cultural heritage and improving navigation and communication.
