Please Note:
our snippet translator is not perfect and tends to use longer snippets first, so for example Windley in Derbyshire could derive from
[Wind][ley] which could translate to wind derived from wind - the wind, a windy place and ley derived from leah - woodland clearing
[Windle][ley] which could translate to windle derived from windel - a basket, ending in ley derived from leah - open space, untilled land
[Windle][y] which could translate to windle derived from windel - a basket, ending in y derived from æg/leah - ? an island near the sea / open space, untilled land
Places ending in ey or y could be islands or open space, untilled land depending where they are
