66 DERBYSHIRE PLACE-NAMES. 



Tor, Row. — For Tor, see above. The adjunct is A.S. hreoh, hrtog, hreof, 

 hreo, hruh, ruh — rough, rugged ; — the rugged tor. Davies, in his 

 " Derbyshire," gives the following from the Archseologia, Vol. VI, p. no. 

 "This appellation (Rowtor) appears to have been derived from the 

 "various rucking-stones near the summit ; as it is a common expression 

 "in the provincial dialect, that a thing roos backward and forward." 

 The above may be the derivation of the word — we have Welsh rheu — 

 to move, and A.S. hreosan — to shake, to waver. 



Totley.— (D.D.B. Totingelei.)— Probably from A.S. teotha, tetha— the tenth, 

 and A.S. leah — a field, meadow, land ; — the tithe land. 



Trangesby.— (D.D.B. Trangesbi, Trangesby.)— The initial syllable is 

 probably from C. draen — a prickle, a thorn. The postfix is from the N. 

 byr, by — a habitation, an abode, a village. The abode or village by the 

 thorn. 



Trent, River. — Saxon, Treonta ; Latin, Triginta. The etymology of this 

 river-name is very doubtful. Some have suggested that it is derived from 

 the French Trente, and so named in consequence of having thirty 

 tributaries, others because thirty different species of fish are to be found in 

 its waters, while some suggest that the Latin name implies that the river 

 is the third in magnitude in England. 



Trowey. — A.S. treo, treu, treow — a tree, wood, and A.S. ay, ea, ey — 

 water ; — the tree or wood by the water.

 Court was held, from N.F. tourn — a Sheriffs Court.

 town ; — Uffa's town. 



Ufton, in South Wingfield.— (D.D.B. Uffentvne.)— The derivation is 

 as above ; but from the Domesday spelling of the name, it is probable 

 that the prefix is a corruption of U fifing, from A.S. Uffingas, a patronymic, 

 indicating a filial settlement of the family or descendants of Uffa. The 

 kings of East Anglia were distinguished by the patronymic of Uffingas
