In Hampshire the old Celtic or Belgic names of rivers in many cases gave their names to places upon them. The 'Itchin' to Itchin Stoke, Itchin Abbas, Itchbourne, &c. The 'Meona' (Cod. Dip. clviii.) to Meon Stoke, East and West Meon, &c. The 'Candefer' (Cod. Dip. mcccix.) to three 'Candovers.' So also the Tarrant gives its names to several places.
