My position is that name Lindisfarne probably still best understood as ‘the island of the Lindisfaran’, i.e. ppl from the Lincoln region...
-
Not only linguistically most credible option, but has good context w/ other E Midlands group-names in the north eg Jarrow=Gyrwe of the Fens
-
Also interesting is Spalding Moor, Spaldinghemore (1172), a v extensive district drained in mid18thC to W of Sanctonpic.twitter.com/qsTlgcPiv8

@caitlinrgreen I used to go bush beating there... My Saturday job! -
@dotterel Hah! So you've moved from one territory of the Spaldingas to another? Nice coincidence! :) - End of conversation

@caitlinrgreen Really interesting, thank you. Presumably the other Farne Islands just get their name as a derivation from Lindisfarne? -
@wallaceme Yes, best explained as a simple derivative in my view, see fn 25 (pp. 256-7) :) -
@caitlinrgreen thanks - I've always wondered how Lindisfarne got its name, chuffed to have a good answer! -
@wallaceme My pleasure, glad you liked! :)
