Thorp
''Thorp'' is a Middle English word for a hamlet or small village. Etymology The name can either come from Old Norse ''þorp'' (also ''thorp''), or from Old English (Anglo-Saxon) ''þrop''. There are many place names in England with the suffix "-thorp" or "-thorpe". Those of Old Norse origin are to be found in Northumberland, County Durham, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk. Those of Anglo-Saxon origin are to be found in southern England from Worcestershire to Surrey. Care must be taken to distinguish the two forms. Variations of the Anglo-Saxon suffix are "-throp", "-thrope", "-trop" and "-trip" (e.g. Adlestrop and Southrope). Old English (Anglo-Saxon) ''þrop'' is cognate with Low-Saxon ''trup''/''trop''/''drup''/''drop'' as in Handrup or Waltrop, Frisian ''terp'', German ''torp'' or ''dorf'' as in Düsseldorf, the 'Village of the river Düssel', and Dutch ''dorp''. It also appears in Lorraine place-names as ''-troff'' such as Grosbliederstr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
