Tewkesbury

The story

1. Koine Greek · derived fromΘεοτόκος“the God-bearer (the Virgin Mary)”
2. English todayTewkesbury

Likely from Old English personal name *Tēodec, genitive case *Tēodeces + byriġ, dative singular of burh (“fort”). However, tradition rooted in the ancient monastery in town claims descent of the first particle from Koine Greek Θεοτόκος (Theotókos, “the God-bearer (the Virgin Mary)”).
