Etymology
'Bark's farmstead, village', v. bȳ . The Scand pers.n. Bark is a reflex of either Bǫrkr (Barkar gen.) or Barki . The DB spelling Barcheberie is erratic and does not suppose an earlier OE p.n. with a generic in -byrig (dat.sg. of burh 'a fortified place'), v. Asfordby.
Both DB forms have AN orthographic ch for the voiceless stop k before e . The late form Mikeberkby is prefixed by Scand mikill 'great' to distinguish the village from its neighbouring daughter settlement Barkby Thorpe.
