The origin of "No man's land" is somewhat interesting.
Quote from: wikipedia

According to Alasdair Pinkerton, an expert in human geography at the Royal Holloway University of London, the word "first appears in the Domesday Book in the late 1000s to describe parcels of land that lie just beyond the London city walls".[3] The Oxford English Dictionary contains a reference to the term dating back to 1320, and spelled nonesmanneslond, when the term was used to describe a disputed territory or one over which there was legal disagreement.[1][4] The same term was later used as the name for the piece of land outside the north wall of London that was assigned as the place of execution.[4] The term was applied to a little-used area on ships called the forecastle, a place where various ropes, tackle, block, and other supplies were stored.[5] In the United Kingdom several places called No Man's Land denoted "extra-parochial spaces that were beyond the rule of the church, beyond the rule of different fiefdoms that were handed out by the king … ribbons of land between these different regimes of power".[3]
