Etymology
Possibly 'Skrápi's homestead, curtilage', v. toft ; with the ON masc. pers.n. Skrápi . However, also possible as the specific is ON skrap 'scraps, scrapings', perhaps referring to the produce of arid, barren soil (v. Lindkvist 122, 221). Lindkvist notes Norw dial. skrapmark 'land thinly covered by grass'. The settlement lies on a small area of sand and gravel overlying the predominant Boulder Clay.
