Etymology
'Cnotta's people,' as suggested by Skeat and accepted by Ekwall (PN in -ing 67). v. ing . Skeat quotes the parallel of Cnottingahamm from a Berkshire charter (BCS 895), and Knottingley (Y). The name is not on independent record in OE but is the equivalent of ON Knútr , lit. 'knot.' Cf. also Knot , Knod in Lincoln Assize Rolls of 1202.
