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.

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...

No place in Britain is more closely associated with a distinct dialect than Liverpool, yet the complex and fascinating history of language in Liverpool has been obscured by misrepresentation and myth. Scouse presents a groundbreaking and iconoclastic account of language in Liverpool, offering a new alternative to currently accepted history. Drawing on a huge breadth of sources—from plays to newspaper accounts to reports to little-known essays—and informed by recent developments in linguistic anthropology and sociolinguistics, Tony Crowley charts the complex relationship between language and place.

Written by an author brought up in working-class Liverpool in the 1960s and 1970s, Liverpool: A Memoir of Words is a work of creative non-fiction that combines the study of language in Liverpool with social history, the history of the English language and personal memoir. A beautifully written book, based on a lifetime’s academic research, it explores the relationship between language and memory, and demonstrates the ways in which words are enmeshed in history and history in words. Starting with ‘Ace’ and weaving its way alphabetically to ‘Z-Cars’, the work illustrates the deep relationship that has been forged in the past two hundred years or so between a form of language, a place and a social identity. The account is funny, sad, full of surprises and always illuminating. It tells the real history of ‘Scouse’, details the multicultural complexity of Liverpool English, examines the common use of ‘plazzymorphs’, and shows how Liverpudlian words exemplify standard processes of change and development. Neither a memoir, dictionary or history book, this work crosses different fields of knowledge in order to weave an engaging and fascinating story. It is a book that will educate and delight Liverpudlians, students of language and social historians alike.

The origin of the names of many English towns, hamlets and villages date as far back as Saxon times, when kings like Alfred the Great established fortified borough towns to defend against the Danes. A number of settlements were established and named by French Normans following the Conquest. Many are even older and are derived from Roman placenames. Some hark back to the Vikings who invaded our shores and established settlements in the eighth and ninth centuries. Most began as simple descriptions of the location; some identified its founder, marked territorial limits, or gave tribal people a sense of their place in the grand scheme of things. Whatever their derivation, placenames are inextricably bound up in our history and they tell us a great deal about the place where we live.
