Hithersay Vad efternamn betyder
from Hathersage (Derbys) which is recorded as Hauersegg(e) in the 13th and 14th centuries. The place-name probably derives from an Old English personal name *Hæfer (genitive *Hæferes) + Old English ecg ‘edge ridge’ though it is possible that the first element is Old English hæfer ‘he-goat’ (genitive hæferes).
