Looks like Welsh for Monmouth County.

Delaware County would've been Native American. I might just be struggling with the quantity of colors.

Dublin comes from the Irish Dubh Linn meaning Black Pool.

Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown on the other hand is a made-up neologism but obviously has Irish origins.

French, in my case. Vallée-de-l'Or, literally meaning Golden Valley. Through, most county names in my area are Native, not French.

Delaware isn't Native, for sure. It comes from the Baron de la Warr, so I suppose it's debatable if that's English or French (an English baron, but name is from French ancestry).

Originally Latin (Cella in Bisonzio), now - or better said for the past 1500 years or so - German: Zell am See.

Voted Latin.

Historic county is Carleton, which is English (named for a guy born in Northern Ireland though). The county doesn't exist anymore, as it is all Ottawa, which is a native name.

Raeto-Romanic, in a way

Imst comes from the early medieval central alps Romance language, which is I guess closest to nowadays Ladin or Raeto-Romanic, "opido humiste", meaning "sparkling spring"

Unsure whether to vote Latin or other, voted other

I got the impression from U.S. History that Delaware came from a (Swedish? Swiss?) general named De La Warr or somesuch that colonized the area where Delaware is.
