You’ll see banks called “First National Bank of X”, or the “First Baptist Church of Y”. A bank or church, with the exact same name, will also exist somewhere else. I live and have traveled all over the US (specifically the Bible Belt) for years now and I’ve noticed this trend.
What gives? Maybe the answer is really obvious and I can’t put it together.
Edit: How come you almost never see the “Second National Bank/Church of X/Y”?

Anecdote, but I’ve been doing genealogy work lately and found that my ancestors founded the first Lutheran church in the area. It’s not the same building anymore but it was and still is called the First Lutheran church.
