Book Description
Excerpt from The Place-Names of the Liverpool District, or the History and Meaning of the Local and River Names of South-West Lancashire and of Wirral This little onomasticon embodies, I believe, the first at tempt to treat the etymology of the place-names of the Liverpool district upon a systematic basis. In various local and county histories endeavours have here and there been made to account for the origin of certain place-names, but such endeavours have unfortunately only too frequently been remarkable for anything but philological, and even topographical, accuracy. They are, however, generally chronicled, as a matter of record, in the present mono graph, with such criticism and emendation as may have been thought necessary.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ...and the name t&n was retained when, in process of time, a village grew up round the farm. There are several scores of Newtons in England, and it is probable that our Newton, like most of the rest, simply denotes the spot where a Saxon cultivator had taken up a new estate; but Dr. Robson, the Warrington antiquary, had a much less prosaic theory of the origin of the name. He says that, on the death of King Oswald, the traditionary site of whose palace, and of the well, is at Wood End, near Hermitage Green, "the royal residence seems to have been transferred to another site to which naturally enough the name of Newton, the new town or vill, was given."2 1 Antiquities of Cheshire, 1673, p. 92. 2 Transactions Hist. Soc. Lane. and Chesh., 1851-52, p. 205. North Meols.--In Domesday we have Melt. This name is referable to the O. Nor. melr (genit. mels, pl. melar), 'sand-hill, ' sand-bank.' Orford--' The cattle-ford'--A.-Sax. orf, 'cattle'; and ford. Ormskirk does not figure in Domesday, but the first settled possession of the ancient parish, and the establishment of the kirk, are ascribed by local historians to a Northman bearing the common name Orm--O. Nor. ormr, 'serpent' Orrell.--' Orrell' is all that has come down to us of the name of a place which in Domesday is chronicled as Otegrimele. In the last element of the ancient designation we have, of course, the O. Nor. melr (pl. melar, genit. sing. mels), 'a stretch of sand.' O and U are the Scandinavian negative particles. Thus, in Swedish, tack is 'agreeable, ' otack is 'nasty.' It is probable that otack or its etymon has nothing to do with Otegri; but there is an O. Nor. word teigr, ' a strip of field or meadow-land'; and, as Cleasby (' Icelandic Dict.') has pointed out, the use...
