"Rothbury" meaning in English

See Rothbury in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

Etymology: From Middle English Rothebyr, probably from Old Norse rauðr (“red”) + Old English byriġ, dative singular of burh (“fort”), since the bedrock in the area is red. However, the first element could alternatively come from Old English personal name *Hroþa, thus 'Hrotha's fort'.
