sort a diminutive. We have similar formations by the use 
of the vowel “i,” in such words as—top, tip ; stock, stick ; 
cock, chick; fox, viven ; muck, miven (dung heap). 
Honrwinvs ;—from this we have, in a slightly altered spelling, the 
name Unwin. 
Hueco ;—hence come Hucu, Howr, Hueuss, and Howes. 
Hvuco.invs ;—Here the Norman scribe is Latinizing the old word 
Hugol, which is, I take it, the old name Howe tt, other 
forms of which we which we may have in Hotz and Hut. 
(II) Names of Praczs. 
Atvrpnston ;—this is the name of a chapelry in the parish of Broad 
* Chalk. Under the entry of Cuetcus (=Chalk) in 
Domesday (W. Domesd. 47, 204), we have one Aileva (a _ 
Latinized form probably of Olive) entered as holding two 
hides under the abbess of Wllton. The name ALvEDEs- 
TON seems clearly enough to mean the town (or village) 
of Aileva. 
_ Atvyzstoy ;—this is a mame now lost, but it is said in Domesday to 
have been a subordinate manor appurtenant to that of 
Bradford (W. Domesd. 44, 196). The only place that at 
all answers to such a description is what is now called 
Cumberwell, close by Monkton Farleigh. Now as the 
tenant of the last named place was, in the time of the 
Confessor, the brother of the well-known Brictric, who 
bore the name of Alwi (Zéid, 131), I venture to suggest 
that he may also have held as tenant the neighbouring 
estate, and that from him it was of old called AtvzEs-tTuN 
(Alwi’s village, or holding). 
_ Atprrston;—now part of Whiteparish, in the Hundred of Frustfield. 
iy In the Domesday Record there is an estate entered under 
the name FrrstEsretp (Frustfield), assessed at two hides, 
which was held as Thane-land, both in the time of the 
Confessor and in that of the Conqueror by one Aldred 
(W. Domesd., 185, 216). I cannot doubt but that from 
| # him Arpers-ton (Aldredes-ttin) derives its name. 
Atprrsury ;—this word of old was always spelt ALwaRDBERIE. The
