Interesting fact: Aigburth means "hill where oak trees grow" and is a hybrid place-name: the first part of the name is from Old Norse eikr "oak tree" (which is found in Eikton in Cumbria and Eakring in Nottinghamshire) and Old English beorg meaning " hill, tumulus" but here in the sense "rising ground". |

Toxteth
There is some ambiguity as to the origin of the name, the two theories are listed below. * One theory is that the etymology is "Toki's landing-place". * Toxteth is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, at this time, it appears as "Stochestede" i.e. "the stockaded or enclosed place" - Anglo-Saxon stocc (German stock) "stake" - Anglo-Saxon stede (German stadt) "place" |
