Melton Mowbray
Melton is a corruption of Middleton (middle enclosure or field), influenced by the Old Norse Methal (middle). In Domesday, it was Medeltone. In the 12th century, Roger de Moubray (from Montbray in Normandy) came and gave it the second half of the name. By 1284, it had become known as Melton Moubray.
