The name Banbury may derive from "Banna", a Saxon chieftain said to have built a stockade there in the 6th century (or possibly a byname from Old English: bana meaning felon, murderer[2]), and burgh / burh meaning settlement.[3][4] In Anglo Saxon it was called Banesburh (dative Banesbyrig).[5][6] The name appears as Banesberie in the Domesday Book.[5][6] Another known spelling was Banesebury in Medieval times.
