The Liverpool Echo newsletter brings you the big stories about our amazing cityMany historians have wondered too, and dug deep into its origins - but they have come up with many answers.The earliest record of the name being used for the area was in 1190, before it was even classed as a town.The second part of the word, ‘pool’, is the easiest part to explain.Most experts agree it means exactly what you think it would mean - a pool of water.It is believed to refer to a narrow strip of water called the Pool, which used to run from where Whitechapel and Paradise Street now stand into the Mersey, according to Visit Liverpool.But opinions are a lot more divided over the roots of the ‘Liver’ part of the word, according to historians Arabella McIntyre-Brown and Guy Woodland in ‘Liverpool: The First 1,000 Years’.One theory is that the water flowing through the Pool contained lots of clay or peat, giving it a red-brown tint - the colour liver.Another is that people called the water ‘livered’ because it contained many weeds, including one known as liverwort.Some people say a similar seaweed called Laver was eaten by cormorants, the birds which most resemble the city’s mythical liver birds.But this belief overlooks the fact Liverpool’s liver birds have changed over time - with the original symbol more like a St John’s Eagle with a different plant in its beak.Yet another theory is that the city’s name derives from the Welsh term Lyfrpwl, meaning ‘the pool of confluence’.But arguments continue to rage between historians - and will probably rumble on for a long time yet.The river Mersey used to be connected to the old kingdom of Mercia, which used to spread across the middle of England.The origins of both the river and the kingdom are apparently in the old word ‘maere’ - meaning boundary.Some local place names are so old they date back further than the Domesday Book, a huge survey of the land in 1086 by William the Conqueror.Speke, or ‘Spec’ as it was then, means a pasture for pigs; Aigburth was the Druid name for a grove of oaks; Calderstones comes from ‘galdar’, the Saxon word for wizard.Meanwhile Tuebrook was a small stream dedicated to the Norse god Tiw, Garston means a grazing place, and Grassendale was a grassy valley.Many names date back to Viking times, as many Vikings came into the north after they were expelled from their settlements in Ireland in 902 AD.Anywhere that ends in ‘by’, ‘teth’ or ‘wall’ is almost certainly Viking in its heritage, according to expert Stephen Harding.Kirkby, West Kirby, Formby, Crosby, Helsby.
