Webster is a name commonly associated with various entities, including the well-known Merriam-Webster Dictionary, which is a widely used reference for the English language. Founded in the early 19th century by Noah Webster, the dictionary has become a standard for definitions, pronunciations, and word origins, helping people understand and use the English language effectively. In addition to the dictionary, "Webster" can refer to several places in the United States, such as Webster, New York, a suburban town near Rochester. There are also other towns named Webster in states like Massachusetts and Texas, each with its own local history and community.
