Fulbeck

English

Etymology

From Middle English Fulebek, from Old English fūl (“dirty”), definite form fūla + Old Norse bekkr (“stream”). An isolated form Fulebroc attested in 1194 suggests that bekkr may have replaced an original Old English brōc (“brook”) in the second element.

Proper noun

Fulbeck

  1. A village and civil parish in South Kesteven district, Lincolnshire, England (OS grid ref SK9450).
