==Toponym== Mytholmroyd was recorded in the 13th century as "Mithomrode" and in the 17th century as "Mitholmroide". The name means 'a clearing for settlement, where two rivers meet', likely derived from the Old English (ġe)mȳthum (inflected form of (ġe)mȳthe, "river mouth"), plus rodu ("field" or "clearing"). The L was probably inserted out of confusion with the common place-name element holm, Old Norse for a small island or eyot.
