Snotingas
The Snotingas were an Anglian tribe who either took their name from a chieftain called "Snot" or "Snod", or from the word Snottenga, meaning "caves". The Snotingas occupied the settlement of Snottengaham or Snodengaham (modern Nottingham).[1]
The Snotingas gave their name to the settlements of Nottingham, first recorded as Snotengaham,[2] and nearby Sneinton, first recorded as Snotinton.[3]
