Etymology
The name of the village is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Horenbodebi and in 1088 in the Durham Liber Vitae as Hornbotebi. The final element comes from the Old Norse word bý ('settlement'). The origin of the first part of the name is less certain, but thought to come from a lost Old Norse personal name Hornbǫði. Thus the name once meant 'Hornbǫði's farm'. The modern form was perhaps influenced by the nearby Hornby, Richmondshire.[4]
