==Etymology== Ingleby Barwick was originally two settlements under a single joint parish, it is common to shorten the name to Ingleby in speech unless disambiguation is needed. Ingleby is derived from [[Old Norse]] Englar+by, a group of [[Angles (tribe)|Angles]]' place. Barwick is of [[Anglo-Saxons|Anglo-Saxon]] in origin, Bere is Old English for barley and Wick means farm.<ref name=":0" /> A '-by' suffix is a [[homophone]] to the word 'bee' and such place with the suffix are common locally: [[Maltby, North Yorkshire|Maltby]], [[Thornaby]] and [[Coulby Newham]]. The [[By-laws in the United Kingdom|by-laws]] are remnant of by's use as a word for a place type, the word itself has come to be pronounced in this case as a homophone to 'bye'. Ingleby is a common name around Yorkshire. [[Ingleby Arncliffe]] and [[Ingleby Greenhow]] are notably within a ten-mile distance from the town and in the same county, North Yorkshire.<ref name=":0">A Dictionary of British Place-Names, A. D. Mills & Adrian Room, Oxford University Press, 2nd Ed 1998</ref> This name is pronounced two ways. One way Barwick is pronounced is Bar-ick, this loss is traditional and also seen with [[Berwick-upon-Tweed]]. The second way of pronouncing is closer to how the individual words evolved in English and how the name is spelt, Bar-wick. This reflects the name's origin as two separate words. Both ways are common in Ingleby Barwick itself.<ref>{{cite web|date=27 August 2020|title=How should Ingleby Barwick be pronounced?
