'Ford of the people of Hemma or Hemmi.' Both names are recorded in LVD, and in ultimate origin are probably short forms of some compound name in Hǣm -, such as Hǣmgils (cf. Bledda from Blǣd -). It may be noted that the name Hemingford is recorded too early for derivation from ON  Hemmingr to be likely. Cf. Hemmingebroke in Yaxley (Thorney 7 a ).Abbots from a holding of the Abbot of Ramsey (DB), also known as West Hemingford and Hemingford by Huntingdon .Hemingford Grey was so called from the Grey family who had a holding here in 1276 (RH), and was also known as Hemingford by St lves . The Turberville family, who also had a holding in Hemingford, took their name in all probability from Trubleville in Normandy. Cf. Fabricius, Danske Minder Normandiet , 268. Abbots Hemingford was in Great Hemingford, the Grcy holding was in Little Hemingford (VCH ).
