Etymology
'Cotta's farm', from the OE pers.n. Cotta and tūn. The medial -ing - is either -ing- or the OE gen.sg. -an - replaced by -ing-, cf. the form Codenton . The -ing- is probably the original form, since Codenton is an isolated example. In this township or parish was le Codyngeheye 1284–7AddCh , Codyncheheye 1284AddCh , Codingey 1296, 1300–7AddCh , Codingeye c.1300AddCh , from the same pers.n. and (ge)hæg 'a fenced-in enclosure', in which the medial syllable -ing -, ostensibly -ing-, shows the assibilated palatal development observed in the Ch '-ingahām ' p.ns. (v. 28), perhaps influenced by a survival of the prefix ge - in (ge)hæg.
