Definition
A place name of English origin, also referring to several towns and cities, most notably in Connecticut and North Carolina.
Etymology
From Old English, meaning 'ford where marigolds grow' or possibly 'golden ford'. The name combines elements referring to flowers (specifically the golden marigold) and a river crossing point.
Kelly Says
Guilford demonstrates how English place names often preserve botanical and geographical information from over a millennium ago - the original Anglo-Saxon settlers were essentially creating a landscape encyclopedia through their naming practices. Many American Guilfords were named after the original English town, creating a transatlantic chain of linguistic inheritance.
