hullandrig

Hullandrig is a toponymic compound that occasionally appears in historical sources and on amateur maps in connection with the parish and village area around Hulland Ward in Derbyshire, England. It is not recognized as a distinct current settlement in official records.

In historical documents, Hullandrig tends to label fields, farmsteads, or minor features located near Hulland. The second element rig is a common toponymic suffix in parts of England and typically denotes a ridge, a row of ridges, or a tract of cultivated land arranged along a line, suggesting a geographical feature more than a separate village.

Etymology is uncertain; Hulland Ward itself is a historic place name; "Hulland" possibly derives from a personal name paired with "land." The form Hullandrig may emerge as a truncation, dialect variant, or copying error in older documents. In modern use, the compound is rare and chiefly of interest to historians and map enthusiasts.
