I tried hard, but I connot see what this section about a Welsh term has to do with the rest of the article about a Cotswold village. Please explain. 47.71.2.160 (talk) 19:14, 9 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
As the article mentions: It (the name Turkdean) derives from the Old English for "valley (denu) of a river called Turce", with Turce or Twrch being a lost Celtic river name, possibly meaning boar.
So the Old English name would have been given by the immigrant Saxons based on the local's Brythonic ('Welsh') name of the river (Avon Twryd?), when they arrived in the country. 176.61.48.12 (talk) 15:37, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
