Talk:River Nar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just for interests sake, the word "nar" in Danish means "fool". Remembering that large parts of this part of England were under Viking settler control during the Viking age - and assuming that "nar" was present in Viking age Danish, I wonder if the name came from some meaning the Vikings had for the river - maybe they cast village fools into the river - "nar" also means "jester"
