[Facts] Somerset
I have no idea.
It can be male(not sure about uni-sex).
Any information(other than the cities)?

There is excellent cider that goes by the name Somerset, and it comes from the area in the south west of England. There are varoius place-names in Britain, their names are explained as "(District of) settlers around Somerton". Somerton again originally was a "farmstead used in summer", except Somerton, Suffolk, which used to be "a farmstead of a man called Sumarlithi" (an Old Scandinavian name).All of this is taken from the Oxford Dictionary of Place-names (1998).Andy ;—)

Hey Seda, I found on another site, that Somerset is of an English origin, and means, "From the Summer Settlers". It states it as a Male name, but I can see it as uni-sex.Hope that helps!
