Gloucester (W3)

Der Name der Stadt "Gloucester" (gegründet 96-98), altengl. "Gleawceaster", abgekürzt "Glo'ster", der Hauptstadt der County (Grafschaft) Gloucestershire, könnte auf lat. "Claudia Castra" = "Militärlager des Claudius" zurück gehen.

Diese Deutung geht auf Geoffrey of Monmouth zurück. Er berichtet, daß Arviragus die Tochter Genuissa von Claudius Cæsar heiratete und ihn davon überzeugte, eine Stadt an dem Ort zu gründen, an dem die Hochzeit gefeiert wurde. Die Stadt soll dann "Caer-Claud" genannt worden sein, das zu "Caer-Clau" verkürzt und zu "Caer-glou" abgeschliffen worden sein. Die Römer machten daraus dann "Glou-caster", die Sachsen "Glou-ceaster", "Glou-cester".

Geoffrey of Monmouth weist auch darauf hin, dass einige Zeitgenossen den Namen "Gloucester" auf einen Sohnn von Claudius, den "Duke Gloius", zurück führen, der an dem Ort geboren worden sein soll.

Der überwiegende Teil der Hinweise führt den ersten Teil von "Gloucester" allerdings zurück auf eine alte Bezeichnung lat. "Coloniae Glev", "colonia of Glezum", und kelt. "Glevo", "Gleva" mit der Bedeutung engl. "bright place" = dt. "günstiger, leuchtender Ort, "Leuchtende Burg", zurück (altengl. "gleaw" = engl. "wise", "prudent"), Welsh "Glo", verwandt mit engl. "coal" (Coal is mined in 60 collieries in Gloucestershire), dt. "Kohle", air. "gúal", ide. "*geu-lo-".

Die alten Briten nannten die Stadt "Caer Glou" = "bright city". Die Römer latinisierten den Namen zu "Glou", "Glove", "Glevum", und machten es zur "colonia glevum". Die Sachsen nannten die Stadt "Glou ceaster" (etwa "Glou-Kastel"), in Referenz zur römischen Siedlung.

Man findet auch noch die Namensangaben:

"Car Glow", "Caer Glow", "Gleawecastre", "Gleucestre", "Colonia Nervia Glevensium", "Glevum", "Glowancestre", 1282, from the Anglo-Saxon for "fort" (Old English "ceaster") preceded by the Roman stem "Glev-" (pronounced "glaiw"). In Old Welsh, the city was known as "Caerloyw", "caer" = "castle", and "loyw" from "gloyw" = "glowing", "bright".

Die Endung altengl. "ceaster" für "Burg" findet man auch in engl. "castle", in deutschen Ortsnamen auf "-kastel", dt. "Kassel", span. "castillo" ("Kastillien"), arab. "al-qasr", span. "alcázar", engl. "Chester", engl. "Caistor" (Lincolnshire), "Chichester", "Cirencester", "Colchester", "Doncaster", "Exeter" ("Exchester"), "Gloucester", "Lancaster", "Leicester", "Manchester", "Ribchester", "Towcester".

"Gloucester" findet man auch als Familiennamen, als Käsenamen, als Name einer Rinderrasse, als Straßenname und U-Bahn-Station in London ("Gloucester Road"), als Bezeichnung für eine Schriftfamilie.

England (W3)

Die Bezeichnung "England" geht zurück auf "the land of the Angles", "Angelnland".

(E?)(L?) http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=England
(E?)(L?) http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/England
...
The name "England" is derived from the Old English word "Englaland", which means "land of the Angles". The Angles were one of the Germanic tribes that settled in England during the Early Middle Ages. The "Angles" came from the Angeln peninsula in the Bay of Kiel area of the Baltic Sea. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first known use of "England" to refer to the southern part of the island of Great Britain occurs in 897, and its modern spelling was first used in 1538.

The earliest attested mention of the name occurs in the 1st century work by Tacitus, Germania, in which the Latin word "Anglii" is used. The etymology of the tribal name itself is disputed by scholars; it has been suggested that it derives from the shape of the "Angeln peninsula", an angular shape. How and why a term derived from the name of a tribe which was less significant than others, such as the Saxons, came to be used for the entire country and its people is not known, but it seems this is related to the custom of calling the Germanic people in Britain "Angli Saxones" or "English Saxons".

An alternative name for "England" is "Albion". The name "Albion" originally referred to the entire island of Great Britain. The earliest record of the name appears in the Aristotelian Corpus, specifically the 4th century BC De Mundo: "Beyond the Pillars of Hercules is the ocean that flows round the earth. In it are two very large islands called "Britannia"; these are "Albion" and "Ierne". The word "Albion" or "insula Albionum" has two possible origins. It either derives from the Latin "albus" meaning "white", a reference to the white cliffs of Dover, which is the first view of Britain from the European Continent. An alternative origin is suggested by the ancient merchant's handbook Massaliote Periplus which mentions an "island of the Albiones". "Albion" is now applied to England in a more poetic capacity. Another romantic name for "England" is "Loegria", related to the Welsh "Lloegr", which is derived from Arthurian legend.

Great Malvern (town), Worcestershire (W3)

"Malvern" geht vermutlich zurück auf brit. "moel" = "kahl", auch "Berg" & "wern" = "Erlen", was also zusammen "erlenbewachsen(er Hügel)" ergibt. (Wenn die Spitze "kahl" ist, müssen die "Erlen" also am Fuß des Hügels stehen.)

Eine andere Variante ist die Rückführung auf ein altes "moel-bryn" = "the bare hill" = "Kahler berg".

Kimberley, Nottinghamshire (W3)

Der englische Ortsname "Kimberley" bedeutet "Land von Cyneburga", "Cyneburga-Land", die Endung "-ley" geht zurück auf "leah" = "Wald", "Wiese", Lichtung".

Nach einer Quelle soll der Name "Kimberley", "Kemperlike", "kemper", auf ndl. "kamper" = "Kämpfer" zurückgehen. Allgemein könnte es auch für "Kampfplatz", "Schlachtfeld" stehen.

Ob beide Herleitungen zusammenpassen kann ich nicht beurteilen. Zumindest mal gehen sie in Bezug auf die geografische Herkunft auseinander. Die erste Herleitung dürfte sich auf eine irisch-gälische Quelle beziehen, die zweite auf eine germanische Herkunft. Es bleibt also zu klären, ob "Cyneburga" die gleiche Bedeutung wie "kamper" hat.

Lara Croft bekommt eine eigene Straße

Die neue, 36,2 Millionen britische Pfund teure Ringstraße der englischen Stadt Derby wird nach der Schatzjägerin aus dem Computerspiel Tombraider "Lara Croft Way" getauft. Darüber durften die knapp 240.000 Einwohner der Stadt in der Grafschaft Derbyshire online abstimmen.

Von den 27.000 abgegebenen Stimmen bekam Lara Croft 89 Prozent. Ebenfalls als Namenspatron kandidierten Football-Spieler Steve Bloomer, Astronom John Flamsteed sowie Ingenieur George Sorocold. Alle drei – wie auch Lara Croft – stammen aus dem County; Tomb Raider wurde 1996 von der Firma Core Design sogar in der Stadt Derby entwickelt und hat seitdem eine ganze Reihe von Neuauflagen erfahren. Sogar zu einem eigenen Spielfilm (Lara Croft: Tomb Raider) mit Angelina Jolie hat es die Figur Lara Croft des Designers Toby Gard gebracht. (bbe)

Issue 189 Spotlight: "England"

..., it got us to thinking about place-names in England. There are some interesting ones. English place-names aren't quite as bizarre as some of those in California, but we thought you would enjoy them nonetheless.

Warblington, Hampshire (W3)

Der ortsname "Warblington" (1086: "Warblitetone", 1186: "Werblinton") soll auf ein Gehöft zurück gehen, dessen Name sich auf einen altenglischen Frauennamen "Waerblith" bezieht, zusammen mit zwei Suffixen "-ing" und "-tun".

West Malvern, Worcestershire (W3)

"Malvern" geht vermutlich zurück auf brit. "moel" = "kahl", auch "Berg" & "wern" = "Erlen", was also zusammen "erlenbewachsen(er Hügel)" ergibt.

Eine andere Variante ist die Rückführung auf ein altes "moel-bryn" = "the bare hill" = "Kahler berg".

(E?)(L?) http://uk.epodunk.com/profiles/england/west-malvern/3016915.html


Wisley (W3)

"Wisley Gardens" liegt in dem kleinen Ort "Wisley" (zwischen Cobham und Woking) im englischen County Surrey, England. Im "Domesday Book", dem Steuererhebungsbuch aus dem Jahr 1086, das für William the Conquerer erstellt wurde, erscheint "Wisley" als "Wiselei".

Leider konnte ich keinen Hinweis auf die weitere Herkunft des Ortsnamen "Wisley", "Wiselei" finden. Denkbar wäre zumindest, dass es sich um eine Zusammensetzung aus "wise" ("weise", "klug", "erfahren", "einsichtig", "wise man" = "Zauberer") und "lei" handelt. "lei" könnte entweder auf afrz. "ley" = "Art", lat. "legem", lat. "lex" = "Gesetz" oder auf mhd. "lei" = "Fels", "Stein", "Schieferstein", "Steinweg" zurück gehen. Wenn also dieser Ansatz überhaupt in Frage kommt, dann könnte man "Wisley" als "(Ort an dem) kluge Gesetze (erlassen wurden)" (vielleicht für einen alten Gerichtsplatz, auch "Thing" genannt) oder als "(Ort am) Zauberstein / heiligen Stein", "(Ort am) Zauberweg / heiligen Weg".

Da es in Australien aber auch einen Ort namens "Wiseleigh" gibt, könnte es sich bei "Wiselei" auch um eine verkürzte Form davon handeln. Dann käme "leigh", altengl. "leah" = "Wald", "Lichtung", "Wiese" als möglicher Hintergrund in Frage. Dann könnte es sich bei "Wisley", "Wiselei" um eine "helle Lichtung" oder um einen "Zauberwald" handeln.

Es besteht also weitestgehend Ungewissheit zur Herkunft von "Wisley" und ich wäre froh, wenn ein Besucher Näheres dazu beisteuern könnte.

"Wisley" ist Namensgeber für ein Autobahnkreuz (A3 London to Portsmouth trunk road / London Orbital M25 motorway), Junction 10.

The flagship garden of the RHS, Wisley captures the imagination with richly planted borders, luscious rose gardens and the state-of-the-art new Glasshouse.

Gifted to the Society in 1903, Wisley has evolved over time into a world-class garden.

In the trials fields, the finest flowers and vegetables are identified from the countless new introductions. Elsewhere in the garden, cultivation techniques are tried and tested, and a series of model gardens answers the needs of a variety of conditions and circumstances.

Kurzbeschreibung
This text celebrates the rich variety of regional and social dialects of English in all its forms, ancient and modern. In this new, revised and extended edition, Trudgill includes phonetic symbols along with the orthographic representations of speech sounds. "Zummerzet" and "Scouse", "Cockney" and "Cumberland", "Brummie" and "Berkshire", "Nottingham", "Norfolk" and "Estuary" English are all covered. English dialects are the result of 1500 years of linguistic and cultural development. Written in non-technical language, this book outlines their history and their geography. It describes and delights in the diversity of vocabulary, accent, grammar and literature to be found among the dialects of England.
