1. In 5A, the Crimson crown book calls the Enchanted Forest a "riding". A riding is an administrative district or a country subdivision.

2. I cannot fathom why the writers go out of the way to not name the kingdoms. XD

I'll give my few. XD

The Northern Kingdom of Ev (Based on Oz lore)

The Maritime Kingdom of Thalassa (Based on Greek primordial goddess of the sea, not Ursula, lol)

Leopold's kingdom of Dresden (Literally means "People of the forest" from Germany)

Xavier's kingdom of Pristinum (Latin for Mill)

George's kingdom of Aria (the Species that sheep are is Aries. Or Ovis. Or Anglia)

Thomas' father's kingdom of Douglass (Or Douglas, from Das Glas which is German)

Phillip's kingdom of Draconia (For Dragon since Mal lives there. Or Pristinum because my theory)

Aurora's kingdom of Celeste (Celestine creates what is called "Desert Rose" and based on the desert like kingdom that Aurora dwells in).

Lord LeGume's kingdom of Vertana (French for Green plus -ana)

Sir Maurice's kingdom of Alscae (Where the Disney movie drew inspiration, or Gascony)

Midas' kingdom of Gordium (A city he ruled, named for his father. Chrysos and Avaritia works to)

Kingdom of Nottinghamshire (because that's like the only name I could fathom)

Rapunzel's parents' kingdom of Corona. (Because Disney)

EDIT: Plus, political entities of that time period where sort of named for the largest/ capital cities, region, etc.

Arendelle is liely the name of the castle town, which is likely why it's the name of the kingdom. Likewise with DunBroch. DunBroch is actually Merida's family clan and the name of their castle holding. Camelot for Once is the name of the region because it was called Camelot even in the days of Merlin and Nimue. Your names are very well thought out and actually make a lot of sense. :)
