Norwegian Place Names with Holm, Firth, Forth

[edit ]

"Eryholme" contains the current Norwegian word "Holm" which means an islet. This not only "an island formed by a river", as these islets can be located be in lakes, fjords or the open sea.

e.g. Peasholme Park in Scarborough

I suppose that Holmfirth may have an old ford & river islet, as "Forth" & "Firth" are of Norwegian origin, whereas "Ford" is reckoned to be of Danish origin.

The old word for "Durham" city was "Dunholm", which may refer to an old islet in the River Wear, or more likely the major loop circling the fortress.

Present day Norwegians call a peninsular a "halv oeya" a half island, so it's not surprising that tight loops in a river in olden days took the same name as small islands.

There are such similarities between Old Angle, Old Danish & Old Norsk, that origins can be cloudy in the former & much missed Kingdom of Northumbria. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Neil G Johnson (talk • contribs) 23:10, 18 February 2010 (UTC) [reply ]
