In the History of Flixton, Urmston, and Davyhulme (1898) the author claims that Carrington may be derived from the Goidelic Celtic root Cathair, a fortress,[1] but a more recent theory is that the name is from an Anglicised form of a Scandinavian personal name.[2] A Carrington Hall once existed to the north of Carrington Moss, at the junction with the modern-day A6144 and B5158 roads. The hall was the seat of the Carrington family, descended from William de Caryngton.[1] Moss, the first use of which is in the 15th century,[3] forms part of the local name for a lowland peat bog, "mosslands".[4] Today the term is also used to describe former bogs that have been converted to farmland.[5]
