History of York
The history of York, England, as a city dates to the beginning of the first millennium AD but archaeological evidence for the presence of people in the region of York dates back much further to between 8000 and 7000 BC.
As York was a town in Roman times, its Celtic name is recorded in Roman sources (as Eboracum and Eburacum); after 400, Angles took over the area and adapted the name by folk etymology to Old EnglishEoforwīc or Eoforīc, which means "wild-boar town" or "rich in wild-boar".
The Vikings, who took over the area later, in turn adapted the name by folk etymology to NorseJórvík meaning "wild-boar bay", 'jór' being a contraction of the Old Norse word for wild boar, 'jǫfurr'.
