Etymology
'Penda's fortified place', v. burh . The pers.n. is OE Penda which is recorded only as that of the famous Mercian king (626–55); it could be a shortened form of such pers.ns. as Pendhere , Pendrǣd and the like which seem to have had an Anglian but more especially a Mercian provenance. In p.ns. it appears to be limited to the West Midlands as in Pinvin (Wo 223). Cf. Pimbury Park (87infra ), Phonol. § 14.
