Where Abouts Are You From?

[Morseman]

I wonder who invents these place names?

 

Hairy ford shire?

Leo minster or should that be lem minster?

What is that all about?

 

From Ancestry.com

 

Hereford

English: habitational name from Hereford in Herefordshire, or Harford in Devon and Goucestershire, all named from Old English here ‘army’ + ford ‘ford’.

 

From information britain

 

Leominster is another market town on the Black and White Village Trail. Dating from the 7th century, its first recorded name is 'Llanllieni', the Welsh name meaning 'the church on the streams'.
