Bardale
Early-attested site in the Parish of Aysgarth
Historical Forms
- Beredale 1280,1285 YI 1283 Rich
Etymology
Possibly 'Bera's valley' v. dæl . The OE pers. name Bera may be assumed from Barbury (W), Beranbyrg (ASC). OE bere seems impossible in this high country.
Professor Ekwall suggests that a probable etymology is ON bjórr 'a beaver,' giving an ON Bjóra -dalr , or perhaps still better, a stream-name Bjórá (derived from bjórr ).
