Where did the Isle of Dogs get its name?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The name Isle of Dogs is first recorded in 1588, but had been in use for some years before this. Brewer's 1898 Dictionary of Phrase and Fable attributes the name: "So called from being the receptacle of the greyhounds of Edward III. Some say it is a corruption of the Isle of Ducks, and that it is so called in ancient records from the number of wild fowl inhabiting the marshes." Other sources discount this, believing these stories to all derive from the antiquarian Stype, and believe it might come from:

* The presence of Dutch engineers reclaiming the land from a disastrous flood * Feral dog packs inhabiting the uncultivated marshland * The presence of gibbets on the foreshore facing Greenwich * A yeoman farmer called Brache, this being an old word for a type of hunting dog * A later king, Henry VIII also kept deer in Greenwich Park. Again it is thought that his hunting dogs might have been kept in derelict farm buildings on the Island The reality is that the origin of the name remains an enigma.
