Name

"The name derives from a combination of the Old Norse words sef (sedges) and thveit (clearing) and may be taken to mean "clearing in the sedges". [2] The name, then spelled Seuthwayt, first appeared in written records in 1340". I disagree with this explanation for the derivation of Seathwaite. The word sea is derived from the Old Norse word for lake. Modern Danish Sø = Lake and is pronounced Sue (similar to Seu as in Seuthwayt) After all it is the Lake District where Seathwaite lies. Perhaps Lake Derwentwater was larger when the Norsemen settled in the lake district and they cleared a plot of land close to the lake thus it was called Seuthwayt - The Clearing by the Lake. Regarding Seatoller this place name means lake toll. Somebody wanting to travel would pay a boatman a toll to be taken across the lake. Profoundpaul (talk) 11:58, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

the point of writing an article is to use reliable sources that other people can verify. Interestingly the 2 Seathwaites have different etymologies according to 'A Dictionary of British Place-Names' - see here and here. JMiall ₰ 21:43, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
