Place name ambiguity was my Ph.D. dissertation topic (Toponym Resolution in Text, University of Edinburgh, 2007): It is a challenge for humans (I know people who flew to the wrong place with the right name) and even more for machines (going only by the string, all 1627 ¨Santa Ana¨s look the same to the machine).
I know live in Coburg, Germany, and googling for ¨pizza coburg¨ I still get pizza places from Coburg, Victoria, Australia in my result page as of 2023.
