Lincs. Ad Baruae 731, Barewe 1086 (DB). For the river-name, see Humber. Ad in the early form is Latin ‘at’. Barrow upon Soar Leics. Barhou 1086 (DB). Soar is a Celtic or pre-Celtic river-name probably meaning ‘flowing one’. Barrow upon Trent Derbys. Barewe 1086 (DB). For the river-name, see Trentham.

Celtic *barr + OScand. ey. The old district name Furness (Fuththernessa c.1150) means ‘headland by the rump-shaped island’, OScand. futh (genitive -ar) + nes.
