Name Meaning

English: habitational name from any of several places, for example in northwest London (formerly Middlesex), Somerset, Hertfordshire and Warwickshire. These are mostly named in Old English from Old English cing ‘king’ (genitive cinges) + burg ‘fortress’. The Warwicks placename derives from the Old English personal name Cyne (genitive Cynes) + Old English burg.
