Until the late 14th century this place was known as Grantabrycge or Cantebrigge ‘bridge on the (river) Granta’, from a Celtic river name meaning ‘marshy river’. Under Norman influence Granta- became Cam-. Or from the village of Cambridge near Slimbridge in Gloucestershire. This place is early-recorded as Cambrigga, and named for the Cam, a Celtic river name meaning ‘crooked, winding’.
