Origin

The name Salisbury comes from Old English words meaning "armor" and "fortress," which were likely a folk etymological reinterpretation of the earlier British Latin place name Sorviodunum. While the original Celtic root may have meant something related to flowing water, the English speakers understood it as a stronghold protected by armor.
