Etymology
Boveridge (SU 062147), Boveridge Fm & Boveridge Ho [ˈbɔvəridʒ], Bovehric 1086 DB, Bogerugg ', Bobrugge (sic)1154–89 (1496) Pat, Bowerigg (e )c.1183 (14) Cecil , 1288Ass , Bowerugge 1381 (1408) Pat, 1383 Fine, Boweridge 1620Cecil , Bewerugg '1245 Cl, Boverug , Boverig 1256 FF, Boverigge 1285Cecil (p), Boveryg 1327SR , Boveregge 1390 IpmR, Boverugge 1504 Pat, Boveridge 1553Cecil , Boveridge als. Borage 1580 Hutch3 et passim , Bouerigg (e )1268, 1280, 1288Ass , 1382 Fine, Bouerig '1288Ass , Bouerugg (e )1324MinAcct , 1482 (1610) Cecil , Boueryg '1332 SR, Boueregge 1390 Cl, Buuerigg '1280Ass , Bourigh '14Cecil , Bourigg 1382 Fine, Bouridge 1620Cecil , Bowrigge 1535 VE, Bowridge 1620Cecil , 1811 OS, Borage 1621CH , cf. Boveridge Heath 1795 Boswell. Probably '(place) above the ridge', from bufan and hrycg , as suggested by Fägersten 100, cf. Bowood in Netherbury par. infra . However some of the forms show early confusion or alternation of the first el. with boga 'bow', often used in hill-names to describe the shape of a hill; in fact 'bow-shaped, i.e. curved, ridge' would equally well suit the topography of Boveridge.
