Grimsby - Puzzle

GRIMSBY – PUZZLE

One explanation of the source of the town’s name lies in its partial derivation from a popular name for the god Odin (rendered ‘Woden’ in Anglo-Saxon). Odin was revered by the Vikings who ruled over the Danelaw as being not only the divine being that brought poetry to mankind, but also as the leader of the war band. In Norse mythology, Odin was also referred to as 'Grim' (Mask) and 'Grimnir' (Masked One) (“Odin”, [s.d.]). The suffix -by is the Old Norse word for village. Rod Collins (2010), however, considers that the name might be derived from the Celtic Gri, maes and buy, meaning The Place of the Sacred Mounds. This could be taken as referring to the Seven Hills of Grimsby, namely Toote Hill, Holm Hill, Abbey Hill, Cun Hu, Sand Hill, Ellyll, the Spittal, Chapel Hill, and Mill Hill, which Collins suggests were of some historical importance.
