• This paper looks at the origins of terms for topographic features and place names in the Yorkshire Dales area of England, in particular, in the Wharfe Valley district. The majority of terms for topographical features and towns in Yorkshire can be traced to Old English (OE) origins but some derive from Celtic, Latin, Old French, or Old Norse roots. The influence of Old Norse is second only to OE in the region, and toponyms used in the Yorkshire area sometimes have origins in both languages. Historical factors relating to the origin of the place names are noted, and an analysis is made of the origins of topographic terms used in the district, of the names of prominent topographic features in the area, and of all town and village names in one of the Dales, the Wharfe Valley.
