Trusthorpe

Trusthorpe, Lincolnshire

Trusthorpe, in the Calceworth Wapentake of Lincolshire, comes from the Old Norse male byname Strútr and Old Norse þorp ‘a secondary settlement, a dependent outlying farmstead or hamlet’. The same personal name appears in Strubby, Lincolnshire, but here the initial S- has been lost through dissimulation.
