The History of
English Place names
The aim of my project is
to review the major types
of English place names,
but it has not been
possible to touch on every
aspect of the subject.
I have presented the
following objectives:
-to find information about
invaders of England and their
influence to English placenames
-to determine the methods of
forming English placenames
-to find out the meanings of
English placenames
I review English place-names,
which can be divided into
three main groups:
-Folk Names
-Habitative Names
-Topographic Names
In my project I offer the table
where I review some
meanings of English
placenames and hold the
survey: What are the main
methods of forming English
placenames?

Topographic Names
Topographic names form a
very large and diverse group.
They consisted originally of a
description of some
topographical or physical
feature, either natural or
man-made, which was then
transferred to the settlement
near the feature named
All types of landscape feature are covered in great detail.
The book is divided into seven chapters, each dealing
with a particular subcategory of topographical features:
Rivers and Springs, Ponds and Lakes;
Marsh, Moor, and Floodplain;
Roads and Tracks: River Crossings and
Landing Places;
Valleys, Hollows and Remote Places;
Hills, Slopes and Ridges;
Woods and Clearings;
Ploughland, Meadow and Pasture.

Survey
We compared the names of
British towns and held the
survey:
What are the main methods of
forming English placenames?
Conclusion
The vast majority of English place
names are Old English in origin.
The arrival of the Anglo Saxons
caused a major disruption in
English place name nomenclature.
Names of Old English origin come
from all three major types of
place name. Folk names were used
in the early stages of Anglo-Saxon
settlement. Habitative names and
topographic names were formed
throughout the Anglo-Saxon
