Meaning & History
The name **Starbeck** has an interesting origin! It is derived from the Old Norse term **"Stor-Bokki"**, which means **"Great River"**. The village of Starbeck, near Harrogate in Yorkshire, was formerly spelled as **"Starbok"** and appears in the 1086 Domesday Book. The **"Star Beck"** itself refers to a brook where sedge grew, and it flows into the Crimple Beck, a tributary of the Nidd River. So, the name has Viking roots and a connection to water. 馃寠馃専
