of London

[navi tasan]

Is this sentence correct:

1-He is of London.

Does it mean the same as:

2-He comes from London.

Hello Navi

Yes; or 'he lives in London'.

But it's rather an old-fashioned usage. It's probably best avoided in ordinary speech.

There's a 13th century poem that begins:

"I am of Ireland,
And the holy land of Ireland!"
