English place names ending in 'by' were Viking settlements. The 'by' ending denotes a Danish/Norse farm. Places with the 'by' ending such as Derby, Corby, Selby, Oadby and Hemsby predominantly exist today within the boundaries of the Danelaw agreed in AD 878.

The word 'cot/ cott /cote' appears at the end of many English place names and means 'shelter' e.g. Caldecott means cold shelter, Ascot means east shelter. The word cottage is derived from this and also means a shelter. Animals could be kept in a cot e.g. dovecote or sheepcote.

Breedon on the Hill in Leicestershire derives its name from the Brittonic (Gaelic) word 'bre' meaning hill, and 'don' a saxon word meaning hill. Its name therefore, literally means hill, hill, on the hill!
