Diglis

suburban area · Worcestershire

Old EnglishAI-generated

The name Diglis likely derives from the Old English term 'dic', meaning 'ditch' or 'dyke', possibly referring to a defensive earthwork or boundary. The second element is less certain but could be related to 'hlys' meaning 'hearing' or 'fame', or perhaps a personal name.
