Etymology
Possibly 'fowls' farm' v. henn , wic . Cf. Goswick (Nb). The later forms show the raising of e to i which is so common before n , cf. the history of hent and hint (NED), while the a of the DB forms will on this explanation be due to the typically 'eastern' æ for e before nasals (v. Introd. xxiii).
