- Herefordshire
[Herefordshire 词源字典]
- Old English Herefordscir, from Hereford (958), literally "ford suitable for the passage of an army." Probably so-called in reference to the Roman road passing over the Wye River. Herford in Germany has the same etymology. As the name for a type of cattle, first bred there, it is attested from 1789.[Herefordshire etymology, Herefordshire origin, 英语词源]
