Tibbeie, Tybbeye, Thebeye, Thyby, etc. [Earlier forms are desirable; but as the township is “situated under Tebay Fell" the name is evid. Scandinavian, and the second element rather Old Norse bý-r, a farm, estate, than Old Norse ey, island; the first element doubtless being an abrasion of a pers. name, prob. one of the various Old Norse Thíoð- ( = Anglo-Saxon Théod-) names]
