Name Explain

Patrick Foote (born: ),https://twitter.com/NameExplainYT/status/772773087796465664 better known online as Name Explain, is an English YouTuber who was born in London and raised on the south east coast of England. Although Patrick loved learning at school he felt the education system was never quite right or engaging enough for him, so much so he dropped out of university after three months.
All this led to the creation of the YouTube channel Name Explain, of which Patrick is the sole researcher, writer, animator, editor and host. The channel was created to delve into people's curiosity and to get people learning in a fun and engaging way. It makes people think about things they never knew they wanted to know, relating to all things names. For instance, where is Old Zealand? Why do Austria & Australia have such similar names? Or if there are any descendants of Adolf Hitler still alive with the surname Hitler. Patrick's key influences of his YouTube channel are CGP Grey and Xidnaf.
His key writing influence is Bill Bryson. His love of animals comes from Steve Irwin and David Attenborough. When Patrick isn't writing books or YouTube videos he is normally playing video games, building Lego sets, watching professional wrestling, or looking after his pet tortoise Bowser.
