In Latin "Magna" means "big" and "Parva" means "small". In the county of Dorset there are two villages about a mile apart: Minterne Magna and Minterne Parva and Minterne Magna is bigger than Minterne Parva. Perhaps at one time there were many such pairs of villages, but the Parvas no longer exist or were swallowed up as the Magnas expanded.
ADDED: The Latin suggests the villages were originally Church, or Monastic, property.
