Name

The name "Soho" first appears around 1636. The name is derived from a former hunting cry. James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth, used "soho" as a rallying call for his men at the Battle of Sedgemoor on 6 July 1685, half a century after the name was first used for this area of London.

The Soho name has been reused by other entertainment and restaurant districts such as SoHo, Hong Kong,
