Editing Huddersfield (section)

===Toponymy===
The earliest surviving record of the place name is in the [[Domesday Book]] of 1086, ''Oderesfelt''. It appears as ''Hudresfeld'' in a Yorkshire charter from 1121 to 1127, and as ''Huderesfeld'' in [[subsidy roll]]s in 1297. The name meaning has not complicated with the shifts of English, remaining 'Hud(d)er's field'.<ref>[[Eilert Ekwall]], ''The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place-names'', p.255.</ref>

The modern name is pronounced without a word-initial /h/ in the local dialect, a trait independently shared by many Norman scribes' dialects of the Domesday Book era (see [[Old French|Old and modern French]]).{{cn|date=May 2024}}
