The city we call Antwerp in English is known as Amberes in Spanish.

When you know that the French name is Anvers it makes a little more sense.

Maybe Anvers is derived from Amberes: https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anvers#cite_note-espagnol-5

Anversa in Italian.

By the way, Leuven (Belgium) is Lovanio even if I hardly heard that translated name until they hosted the UCI World Championship in 2021.
