Etymology
'Beorn's glade or forest-clearing', from the OE pers.n. Beorn , lēah. The same man doubtless gave his name to the lost Barnscliff (infra ). The spellings with Barn - down to 1230 are due to AN influence (cf. Barnby Dun 17supra ); from 1381 they reflect the normal e.ModE development of -er to -ar - (cf. Phonol. § 14).
