Newbury
ne(w)-bu-ry
Origin:British
Meaning:New fortress
Newbury is a masculine name that baby will share with towns and villages all over the world. From Newbury, Massachusetts, to Newbury, Australia, this title has traveled far from its English roots. As a combination of the Old English elements nēowe, meaning “new,” and burh, meaning “fortress,” Newbury means “new fortress.” Evoking images of medieval towns and fortified castles, Newbury reflects a time when protection and safety were paramount. While your home may not have a draw bridge or look-out tower, it will be the place where little Newbury feels most secure.
