Etymology
'Gamal's secondary settlement, outlying farmstead or hamlet' v. þorp , presumably of Hibaldstow. The first el. is the ODan pers.n. Gamal , a name recorded independently and frequently in DB in L. The early forms in Gain - are not supported by subsequent spellings (till the 16th century) and are probably misreadings of Gam -. The later change to Gainsthorpe first noted in the 16th century does not appear to have parallels in other p.ns. and the reason for this development is unclear.
