http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/CAM/StowCumQuy/ http://www.stowcumquy.co.uk/Info.htm Stow-cum-Quy: The origin of the place name Stow is uncertain since it variously means a holy place or somewhere associated with stones. The origin of Quy (pronounced like why with a 'k' in front) is more certain. The Old English word eg (pronounced like eye) derives from the Old Norse ey which means an island. In English place names it was adopted to mean a high piece of land surrounded by marsh or fenland. Here it is associated with a place where cows could graze safely and the two words Cow and eg gradually became truncated into Quy. So the whole place name means 'The stony or holy place next to the high ground where there are cows' or Cow Island. Стоу-кам-Кай |
