Does anyone know what "Tad(d)" or "Tod(d)" in a place name means?
Obvious examples are Taddington, Tadcaster, Todmorden, etc
Any ideas? (It's connected with a query I received from a local historian who has turned up a possible unknown Dales pothole in some old literature - understanding the meaning of the name may give clues as to its precise location.)
Thanks.
