Fosberry Vad efternamn betyder
from Fosbury House in Tidcombe or Fosbury Cottages in West Overton (both Wilts). Both places are recorded as Forstebury in the 13th and 14th centuries and both seem to have given rise to medieval bynames. The place-names derives from Old English burg ‘fortified place’ (dative byrig) with an uncertain first element possibly a hill-term *forst (related to fyrst ‘ridge (of a roof) top’).
