Description Incorrect Description? Tell Us!Arrington is a village and civil parish in the South Cambridgeshire district of Cambridgeshire, England, with a population of 389 (2001 census). The village is on the A1198 road (the old Ermine Street), and is about six miles north of Royston in Hertfordshire.

Origin of Name: Arrington can be fairly certainly explained as 'the farm of Earn(a)=s people='. The Earningas were a group or tribe of people who lived in Armingford (the ancient district roughly covering Arrington, East Hatley, Steeple Morden, Royston, Melbourn, Whaddon and points between) in Saxon and Medieval times.

The earliest known forms of 'Arrington' are Earnningtone (in an Anglo-Saxon will of c950), Oarningetune and Erlingtona (in
documents allied to the Domesday Survey) and Erlingtona or Aerningetun (in the Domesday Book itself, 1086). Similar -ingatun names are found elsewhere in South Cambridgeshire and are usually associated with the earliest period of English settlement.

By the thirteenth century Arrington had virtually acquired its modern form as Aring(e)ton(e).

The Anglo-Saxon name for the Roman Road 'that passed through the land of the Earningas' was 'Earninga Straete' (1012). This became Ermine Street. Thus 'Arrington' and 'Ermine Street' are anglo-saxon names that share a similar origin.
