My guess is that you mean the derivation of a person named "York", in which case the name comes from the English town of York. It seems it was originally named Eure-ric or Eouer-ric, euere meaning a wild boar, and rycbeing a refuge; York would originally be a retreat from the wild boars which were in the forest of Gautries.
