Definition
金斯敦 is a proper noun that refers to two different capital cities: Kingstown (capital of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines) and Kingston (capital of Jamaica). The pinyin is the same for both, so context determines which one is meant. You'll mostly encounter it in geography or news contexts.
