Whitby Abbey got its name from its location in Whitby, a coastal town in North Yorkshire, England. The name "Whitby" is derived from the Old Norse word "Hvita," meaning "white," referring to the white chalk cliffs near the abbey. The abbey itself was founded in the 7th century by the Anglo-Saxon king Oswy and was originally called Streoneshalh. Over time, the site became known as Whitby Abbey, reflecting its geographical association.
