Scandinavian derived placenames in Lincolnshire

Toponymy
Old East Norse in Sweden and Denmark, danish tongue

Changes had a tendency to occur earlier in the Danish region and until this day many Old Danish changes have still not taken place in modern Swedish rendering Swedish as the more archaic out of the two concerning both the ancient as well as modern languages

Until the early 12th century, Old East Norse was very much a uniform dialect. It was in Denmark that the first innovations appeared that would differentiate Old Danish from Old Swedish

''The Scandinavians frequently just tacked on ‘by’ to a village that already had a place name. Therefore, it is not unusual to have a combination of Old English with a Scandinavian termination. Utterby is Lincolnshire is one such place. The ‘by’ stands for village. The ‘utter’ comes from the Old English ‘uttera’, which stands for remote. Therefore to the Vikings this was ‘the remote village’.''

Tetney
Wondering about the toponymy of Tetney, seems to not have changed much being listed as Tatenai in Domesday. I wondered if there are any reliable sources which show a link to modern Swedish word "tät", see http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/tät with tätna describing somewhere dense, thick, crowded or impermeable. from O.N. þettr "watertight, close in texture, solid" which I think would describe the situation of a dry island in the marsh, with the -ey suffix meaning island, or perhaps promontory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_generic_forms_in_place_names_in_the_United_Kingdom_and_Ireland

History
'''During the rebuilding of the 15th century chancel and part of the north aisle in 1862, foundations of Norman transepts were discovered, and in the Norman walling of the west end of the church are scorched stones which may have come from the original Saxon church burned by the Danes. The building also contains other period remains. The south doorway, now blocked, is 13th century. The south aisle and nave arcades are 14th century. A Latin inscription on one of the pillars in the north aisle reads, "This work was completed 1363. Robert Day, then vicar".The 15th century tower is on Yorkshire stone, and the remainder of the church is native sandstone, which shows deeper weathering.'''

There is evidence of a Saxon church in Tetney before the Danes came in 870 and burned it down as part of the many Viking incursions into the area. The village church, dedicated to St Peter and St Paul, was rebuilt in 1363. Its tower, a noted example of a marshland church tower, was constructed in 1418.

The village of Tetney is itself recorded in the Historic Environment Record (HER - MLI87593). The village is recorded as Tatenaya in the Domesday book, and derives its name from the Old English name Taete's island of land.

The market at Tetney was granted by King Edward I to Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln on 4 January 1282, to be held on Tuesdays at the manor.

Prehistoric flint finds in the parish at Tetney Lock, dated to early Neolithic to late Bronze Age. Late Bronze Age Saltern to east of village in Newton Marsh area, considered to be the oldest known from the Humber Wetlands (of which the Lincolnshire Marsh forms part of the southern extent), dating from the Late Bronze Age, when most of the saltern sites in the region date from the Iron Age.

In 1563 the population of Tetney is recorded as 90 households, although this does not give an indication as to the actual number of people living in the area. The 1801 census recorded that the population of Tetney as 440, and by 1911 it had risen to 917.

uneven post-glacial land surface very different from the present flat landscape created by sediment deposited during marine flooding episodes. these demonstrate the uneven post-glacial land surface very different from the present flat landscape created by sediment deposited during marine flooding episodes. It is evident that the located prehistoric saltmaking features were on former islands of higher land at least partly surrounded by natural creeks.

1945 an urn containing 389 Anglo-Saxon and 5 Danish coins was disturbed during ploughing to the west of the village, and field walking nearby located Roman occupation material.

The Newton Marsh saltern site has been dated (by radiocarbon analysis and by pottery identification) to the Late Bronze Age/ Early Iron Age period (about 875 BC) and at present appears to be one of the earliest located saltmaking sites in Britain.

Waithe
WAITHE (133) Wade 1086, 1194 Wada c.1115, 1212 Wathe 1196, 1203 Cameron is no doubt right in, apparently perversely, seeing this as a scandinavianized form of OE (ge)wæd ‘ford’ rather than as Sc *wað with the same meaning. Reinforced by the phonology of the related verb to wade, names containing the OE noun invariably have a long vowel (e.g. Cattawade (Sf), Biggleswade (Bd), Iwade (K)), as does Waithe (/wei2/). Names containing the Sc word have a short vowel (e.g. Wath (numerous places in e.g. Yorkshire and Cumberland), though the element is often analogically replaced by phonologically similar ones such as worth and with). Note that Waithe Cross in Meltham (PN YW 2: 285) is taken to be from Scand *weid- ‘hunting’. Smith (EPNE 2: 230) suggests that the Lincolnshire Waithe is from the dative form of the Scand word (ON vaði), but in the light of the rest of the evidence that looks like special pleading, and the explanation involving an English name with a scandinavianized final consonant looks best.-http://eprints.uwe.ac.uk/13673/1/CoatesMajor2.pdf

Fulstow
Fugelestov -Domesday The name Fulstow is from the Old English Fugol+stow, for "holy place or meeting place of a man called Fugol".

Folklore
Two magic stones belonging to the Danish King, which when beaten with hazel would make the rain fall and everything plentiful. Taken by Grim and Boundel...

Robert Mapletoft

Note the following remark in White’s Lincolnshire (1856: 570): “In a field near the church [of North Thoresby], called Bound Croft, is a blue stone, over which the manor court was formerly held.” Stanholme Lane is north-west of the church; Stanholme allegedly takes its name from the so-called Boundel Stone, a bluestone found there, and if so not because the land was stony in some other sense (as suggested in PN L 4: 170). Henry Evan Smith, in his manuscript history of Lincolnshire (1850), refers to this place as Boundel’s Croft. This stone is not mentioned in PN L, and Smith’s identification may rest on a romanticization of the known Bond Croft in the Tithe Award (1839) in the light of the local Grim and Boundel legend, a variant of elements in the well-known story Havelok the Dane (Smithers 1987).

The origin of the term bluestone has not been ascertained, but the colour blue seems irrelevant to the instances known to me. There is no strong formal reason why the first element should not be Sc. *blōð ‘blood’ or even *blōt ‘sacrifice’. In either case, Sc. *stein- has presumably been replaced by its English counterpart. It is *stein- that appears in the earliest attestations of Stanholme in North Thoresby.

Smith’s dialectified version of the relevant part of the story, allegedly heard from rustics in 1820, goes: “Grim an’ his best man Boundel as big as hissen, went ashore after dark, and shouldering a stone apiece carried ’em off to his ship.” The second was the so-called Grim’s Stone, also to be found in North Thoresby. The stone in question is said to be at NGR TF 290988. (This and some other details in the text are from Welbourn Tekh’s essay ‘Whip it!’, at www.tc- lethbridge.com/tekhs_journal, dated 15/05/2006, accessed 01/06/2006, quoting Rudkin (1936: 69–70), who quotes Smith.) This site is a New-Agey, not an academic, site, but there is no reason to doubt the accuracy of the references to rare material quoted there.

At North Thoresby, in Lincolnshire, the fair was held near a "blue stone" in a meadow near the church called Boundcroft-a significant name.-http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=s-M6AAAAIAAJ&lpg=PA517&ots=IlaL0ic6dI&dq=north%20thoresby%20archaeology&pg=PA193#v=onepage&q=north%20thoresby%20archaeology&f=false

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kävlinge but Kävlinge named Lodda älv in Viking times, Kävlinge name from 1120, '''Vid den här tiden skrevs namnet Kyflingi. Enligt språkforskare har namnet troligen bildats av ordet kuv som betyder rundaktig topp, puckel. Namnet lär syfta på den åsrygg, som från söder skjuter norrut som en spets mot byn på andra sidan ån. Ändelsen -inge har inte någon självständig betydelse, men namnformen i sig visar att byn är gammal eftersom den härstammar från äldre järnålder och folkvandringstid. En annan och äldre teori om namnet Kävlinge är att det syftar på en s k kavelbro som har funnits vid vadstället över ån.'''-http://www.kavlinge.se/kommunochpolitik/kommunfakta/historia.4.733c4d9113d1efc66f189d.html
