Penistone Vad efternamn betyder
from Penistone (WR Yorks) which is recorded as Peningston in 1298 or less likely Penistone in Stainmore (Westm). The WR Yorks place-name is of uncertain etymology but may derive from Proto-Welsh *penn ‘head’ + the Old English place-name forming suffix -ing (genitive -inges) + Old English tūn ‘farmstead estate’. The etymology of the Westm place-name is uncertain due to a lack of medieval forms.
