Etymology
Col. Parker (YAS 62) has suggested that Halnaby took its name from one Halnath who lived there c. 1218. The above spellings antedate this by a considerable period and we must assume either that Halnath was long-lived and early gave his name to the place or that he had an ancestor called Halnath (of whom nothing is known). v. by . The name Halnath is probably an anglicised form of the continental name Halanant found in the Suffolk DB.
