= Whitbread, q.v.
The letter it is very apt to change places with the vowel preceding or following it; thus, the Old English brid has become bird, and firth, an estuary, is, among Southrons, frith. In like manner, the last syllable of this word was perhaps originally berd, that is, beard. Thus Whitebread would be a sobriquet, like Silverlock, Redhead, &c. See , however, ' Blancpain.' Witbred occurs in the Hundred Rolls; and in 11. Edward I. we meet with the names Will. Milkanbred, and Walter, son of Will. Milk and bred! N. & Q., Jan. 24, 1857. The notorious murderer, Eugene Aram, heroized by a modern novelist, was usher, in 1744, to the Rev. Mr. Painblanc, in Piccadilly.
The same as Whitbread; corrupted from the ancient name Whitberht, which might translate "very distinguished."
(English), White bread. Whitechurch, White church. Whiteford, White ford. Whitehall, White house. Whitehand, White hand. Whitehead, White head. White- horn, White corner. Whitehorse, White horse. White- house, White house. Whitehull, White hill or hovel. Whitehurst, White grove. Whitelaw, White land or pasture. Whiteling, White heath. Whitelock, White hair, lake, or canal-lock. Whiteman, Man clothed in white. White- stones, White stones. Whiteway, White road.
From the Flemish, Wittebord; in the Domesday Book, Witbert, Wibert; a personal name.
