John made a brief mention of one-letter place names.
I knew that there are a handful of places called Å. And more recently I learned that, in Vietnamese, Italy is called Ý. It's a shame the Italians haven't returned the favour by giving Vietnam a one-letter name.
Wikipedia used to have a list of interesting and unusual place names. Exceptionally short or long names were one criterion. I've just discovered it still has a list of one- and two-letter place names....
