	British toponymy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is different from the study of etymology, which is concerned mainly with the origin of the name of a specific place.
		Many British forms and names have been corrupted over the years through being occupied by many different groups of people speaking different languages with similar words meaning different things.
		In some cases words used in place names are derived from languages that are extinct, and of which there are no extant known definitions.

	Katie Fraser, Trade names: the toponymy of the Northwest coast from 1778 to 1792 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		The toponymy of the Northwest Coast that was established in the latter years of the 1700’s is very useful to understanding the history of that region.
		The British place-names of the Pacific Northwest illustrate the rich influence of the economic interests of Britain in that area that were conveyed through such explorers as James Cook, George Vancouver as well as traders such as Charles Barkley, George Dixon and James Strange.
		These British captains who voyaged to the Pacific Coast that stretches between Oregon and Alaska, between 1778 and 1792, left traces of their time spent on the Coast in the form of place-names.

		The prevailing assumption is therefore of ‘a near wholesale replacement of British place-names throughout Northumbria in the Anglo-Saxon period’ (Higham 1993, 100).
		The fact that bryn, while common elsewhere in p-Celtic toponymy, occurs only rarely as a first element in etymologies collected by this study supports the idea that some or all names previously thought to contain pren in fact contain bryn.
		There could be many reasons for this survival—the defence offered by the hill-ranges, for example, or the abundance of fertile land in the Tweed flood-plain, which would sustain a large number of Anglian settlers who would have no cause to look elsewhere for land (for the medieval landscape, see Higham 1993, 83; cf.
