Kirbyshire Vad efternamn betyder
perhaps from Kirkbyshire an alternative name for the manor of Kirkby Malzeard (WR Yorks) though this cannot be certain as no medieval bearers have been found. The place is recorded as Kyrkebyskyre in 1255 and takes its name from Kirkby Malzeard (from Old Scandinavian kirkja ‘church’ + bȳ ‘farmstead village’) + Old English scīr ‘shire district region’.
