What does "has a good ring to it" mean?
What does "has a good ring to it" mean?
I'm reading an English novel and having trouble understanding this phrase. In the context, the characters are discussing how to rename a place and address the new name as "it has a good ring to it". Maybe it means "that sounds good"? I just can't understand the word "ring" here.

It means that "it sounds good"; it's often used as a way of describing a catchphrase eg "Just do it!" by Nike has a good ring to it

You were right, it just means that is sounds good.
I think the expression was originally used to talk about bells, which makes ore sense. But now it is commonly used in English to talk about other things as well.

Yes, it means "That sounds good." 'Ring' in this phrase is referring to sound.
