Hœgu-thorn = hedge-thorn, hawthorn, whence our Eythorne (anciently Hegythe Thorne), Hundred of Eyhorne (Haythorn, temp. Henry III.), and Iron Street, a hamlet in Hollingbourne in that Hundred. Mapuldur = maple-tree, in our Maplescombe, _i.e._, the bowl-shaped valley where maples abound. Holegn = holly. Our Hollingbourne, and perhaps Hollandon. Holt-hona = woodcock, or more exactly woodhen, like moorhen. Worhona is Saxon for pheasant. So our Henhurst, Henwood, and Hengrove are the same. Boece = beech. So our Mark Beech and Bough Beech, near Chiddingstone. This derivation is also one of those suggested for Bearsted, whereof the Saxon name is Beorhham-stede, and the first syllable would be either Beorg-hill or Beorc-beech. Goss = furze. Gorsley Wood, in Bishopsbourne. Fleota = estuary or creek. Our Northfleet, Southfleet, Ebbsfleet, and Mearesflete, and Flete. Haesl = hazel. Hazelwood Hill, in Boughton Malherbe. Beber = beaver. Beavers flourished in England even in historical times, and gave their name to Beverley, Beaverbrook, etc. May Beaver, near Ashford, derive thus? And the Beverley at Canterbury? Pearroc = literally a grating—a place fenced in for deer, etc. So Park and Paddock. Paddock Wood. Hreed = reed. Our Reedham possibly; but it is not on marshy ground. Hythae = a harbour. Our Hythe, Greenhythe, New Hythe (East Malling), Small Hythe (Tenterden), West Hythe, and Erith (Erehithe—the old landing-place for Lesnes Abbey on the Thames). Thyrne = thorn. Our Thornham. Cisil = gravel. Our Chislehurst (Cyselhurst in 973), or gravelly wood. Cnol = hill-top, as in Knowle, Knowle Hill (in Boughton Malherbe), and Knowlton. Beyr = shed, cottage. Dr. Sweet makes it the same as Bur (modern Bower). Hence perhaps our Burham and Burmarsh; but the old forms of Burham would point rather to Borow or Borough—the walled settlement. Aesc = ash. Our Ash, Ashenden, Ashford, Ashley, and Ashurst. Hlep = leap. Hence Hartlip, of old Hertelepe. There are two places thus named. Pirge = pear tree. Possibly Perrywood and Perry Street. And Perhamstede according to authorities. Plum-treu = plum tree. Hence Plumstead—and Plumpton? Faerh = a young pig, whence our word “farrow.” Considering that the rearing of swine was the chief occupation in the dens, I wonder that no one has suggested this word for the first syllable of Farleigh and Fairlight. Brycg = bridge. The Saxon had the word, but not many bridges. Most of our eleven place-names in Kent containing this word are of post-Saxon date, while we have fifteen “fords.” Sae = sea. So our Seasalter and Seabrook. Aac = oak. We have Ackholt, Acol, Acryse, Oakhurst, Oakley, and Ockholt (now Knockholt). Elm, borrowed from the Latin Ulmus. The Witch-elm, called Wice in Saxon, is indigenous, the other elm imported. We have Elmley, Elmstead, and Elmstone. Mistel = mistletoe (ta. fem.—tdig) may appear in Mistleham, near Appledore.
