The name Withernwick derives from the Old English wiðþornwīc meaning 'trading settlement by the thorn tree'. Alternatively, the first element could possibly derive from the Old Norse personal name Vith-Forni.^[3]

Over the past few years the village has been in decline, having lost its post office, school, Methodist chapel and village hall.
