The ending -ing
meant folk or family, thus "Reading" is the place of
the family of Rada, "Hastings" of the family of
Hasta. Ham means farm, ton means settlement.
Birmingham, Nottingham or Southampton, for
example, are Saxon place-names. Because the
Anglo-Saxon kings often established settlements, Kingston is a frequent place-name.
