Etymology
The name of Cherry Green is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, as Ceauride. Other early attestations include Chaureth(e) in 1295. The second element of the name is thought to be the Old English word riþ, meaning "brook". The first element of the name was long interpreted as an Old English personal name Cēawa, attested only here and in the place-names Chacombe, Chawridge and East and West Challow, in which case the name Chaureth once meant "Ceawa's brook". In the 2020s, however, it was suggested that Old English had a word cēawe or cēawa, meaning "jackdaw", in which case Chaureth could have meant "jackdaw brook".[2]
