Etymology

'Haggande's farmstead', v. bȳ . The first el. is the well-evidenced ON  byname Hǫggvandi 'the striker' (LindBN), which occurs in a lost Hagandehou 12Sawl 160 (in Haggenby ), c. 1225Heal 152, Haganhou 1324 ib 43; this pair of p.ns., one from bȳ and the other from haugr 'mound', parallels similar pairs like Grimesthorpe and Grimeshou i, 211 supra . The site of Haggenby can be approximately determined: it was in Ainsty Wapentake (DB, KI, KF); Easedike 242 infra was in the town field of Haggenby (Heal 18d), which abutted on the R. Wharfe (ib 151); other references to the nearby Foss, Catterton Wood and Tadcaster Field show that it was in Tadcaster East (Heal 56). The name survives in Hackenby Dike, the name of a small stream across the Wharfe in Grimston (68supra ).
