Origin of the Notting Hill name
The origin of the name "Notting Hill" is uncertain
[7] though an early version appears in the Patent Rolls Flat Rental London of 1356 as Knottynghull [8][9], while an 1878
text, Old and New London, reports that the name derives from
a manor in Kensington called "Knotting-Bernes,",
"Knutting-Barnes," or "Nutting-barns"[5],
and goes on to quote from a court record during Henry VIII's
reign that "the manor called Notingbarons, alias Kensington,
in the parish of Paddington, was held of the Abbot of Westminster".

is now thought likely that the "Nott" section of
the name is derived from the Saxon Flat Rental London personal
name Cnotta,[10] with the "ing" part generally accepted
as coming from the Saxon for a group or settlement of people.[11]
