Thrumpton

Thrumpton, Nottinghamshire

Thrumpton, in the Rushcliffe Wapentake of Nottinghamshire, comes from the Old Norse male personal name Þórmóðr and the Old English tun ‘farm, settlement’. Thus it is an Anglo-Scandinavian hybrid name.

There is a place of the same name, with the same origin, in the Bassetlaw Wapentake.
