@caitlinrgreen Could it be the settlement or mr or mrs Gywre as in a personal name
@morangles No, is the plural group-name rather than an individual, as prob with the Hwicce names too :)
@caitlinrgreen THANKS question did they have settlement like personal name led?
@morangles How do you mean?
@caitlinrgreen when you have mr lets say marshall calling a city after him like marshall city
@morangles That's definitely how some names work in this era---refer to local rulers etc eg Grimsby etc. Others refer to groups eg Jarrow :)
@caitlinrgreen some sources name the stream on the island as the Lindes (and variations thereof)
@medcaut Symeon of Durham, in fact :) But that can't be root of island-name, pace Coates; stream named from island, not vice versa!
@medcaut (Coates argued for Irish origin via stream, but relies on demonstrably false assertion + unique use of supposed name elements)
