Some Hull place names explained

Bransholme - either Bran's water meadow ir water meadow of the boar (brandt) Old Norse. Mentioned in t :) e Doomsday book
Drypool - a dried up pool, also Dripol or Dridpol
Gipsyville - 20th cenury, after nearby factory that manufactured 'Gipsy Black' polish
Holderness - headland (nes) of the hold (nobleman) - Danish (cf Stadtholder, the name given to the Dutch monarchs)
Hull - formerly Wyk or Wyke, meaning an inlet or bay in Old Norse/Danish but now taking its name from the River Hull whose name may be Celtic as many Yorkshire rivers are. Interestingly the course of the river has changed considerably and there used to be an inlet of the Humber in the area of Wyke to the west of the river called Sayercryk, probably Anglian for 'sea creek' and corrupted to 'Sewer'. This is presumably the origin of the otherwise unattractively named 'Sewer Lane' in the Old Town.
Marfleet - the pool stream, ?Norse
Myton - the name of the original settlement, the Monks of Meaux Abbey built a grange here and named it Wyke. The name persist e.g. in Myton Bridge.
Sculcoates - Skuli's cottages, old Norse
Southcoates - possibly old Norse, Soti's cote (cottage)
Stoneferry - earlier Stanfordrak - Stanford probably meant the stony ford and rak is Norse for a strip or lane, although it is difficult to imagine the river being shallow enough to ford - perhaps the ford was across a tributary stream. Later the site of a ferry across the river.
Summergangs - a road 'gang' across the Ings which was only passable in summer, or a corruption of 'South mere' - either way an indication that this whole area was once much wetter. The whole Southcoates / Summergangs / Drypool area was called Ings because it all consisted of wet meadowland in the flood plain of the river. Summergangs became a large area of common pasture but was too wet for use in the winter until drains like Summergangs Dyke were built.
Wincolmlee - no-one really seems to know the origin of this place name but the fact there is also a Wincolmblee in Newcastle would seem to suggest a Scandinavian origin. I am still looking into Wilmington and Trippett.
Wyke - a corruption of Norse 'vik' meaning mouth or creek.
