Etymology

, 1859OS , named from le Strandes 1323 Cl, 1324 Ipm, the Strands 1690Dep , High Strands 1843TA ; the Strands , described as meadows in 1324 , were doubtless named from a variant strand of ME  strond , strund ' stream ' , which is thought to be related to ME  strind ' stream ' and is a NCy word ; the name is hardly likely to be from OE  strand ' shore ' .
