== Etymology ==
 
The name Airhaven comes from two sources; Firstly, the ''Mortal Engines'' series by Phillip Reeve contains a fictional town of the same name which is suspended in the air by large balloons, and serves as a refuge from the war-torn ground below for anyone who can fly there in airships. The second source of Airhaven's name is a play on a translation of the German word for Airport, ''Flughafen'', which literally means FlighthavenFlightport, but its latter half is a near homophone for 'haven'. Thus, Airhaven can be seen as a portmanteau between Airport and Flughafen.
 
This simple but descriptive theme continues to the names of districts, such as Ravinetown and Underhill.
