Linea 48:
# White's Latin Dictionary gives '''Nottinghamia'''
No other source I have handy gives a listing. You can, I suppose, take your pick of those. --[[Usor:Iustinus|Iustinus]] 21:25 aug 25, 2004 (UTC)
<br>- Nomen Nottingham venit de Anglosaxonico "Snotingahâm", quod dicit "domus populi hominis nominati Snot".(Anthony Appleyard)
* Interesting research, thank you - I think I'll leave it as ''Nottinghamia''. I also made up Brigladia Occidentalis (West Bridgford) based on entries in [[Index locorum in Regno Unito]] with 'bridge' and 'ford' in them, and Callunacampus (Hatfield) is a literal translation of the entomological roots of Hatfield (i used ''campus'' for the alliteration :-) Perhaps though your input would be useful for ''Hertfordshire'' (bear in mind there is a major town called ''Hertford'' too)- I originally translated it as ''Hertfordiensis'', based on the index locorum entry ''Bedfordiensis comitatus (Bedfordshire)'' but the link you gave above (Google cache only) gives these names for counties with names ending 'shire':
** Angulia: Flintshire.

OK, not sure I approve of your latest changes to this, but we'll have to talk maybe later today, when I have time to go into detail. --[[Usor:Iustinus|Iustinus]] 18:06 aug 26, 2004 (UTC)
I don't know who the Cassii were, nor do most people, and there is a limit as to how antiquarian we need be in resurrecting names of old Celtic and early Saxon tribes. In York Minster cathedral an inscription on a tombstone about 250 years old refers to modern Yorkshiremen as "Trinobantes"!!! :-) . (Anthony Appleyard)
