York takes its name from the Anglo-Saxon word Eoforwīcwhich means town of wild boars as during this period the town was full of wild-boars. When the Vikings invaded they adapted the name to Jorvik meaning wild-horse bay to fit in with their Norse language. This later became York as language develops over the years. The shire prefix at the end is one that England gives to all non-metropolitan counties.
