Where this word comes from

For places in England and Scotland (e.g. North Berwick), from Old English bere (“barley”) + Old English wīc (“settlement”). For the Scottish name, there is the possibility that the second element instead derives from -wick. Places outside England and Scotland are generally named, possibly indirectly, after places in England, including Berwick-upon-Tweed. The town in Nova Scotia is named after the town in Maine. The name was chosen by a local resident who had travelled through the community in Maine and was impressed by its neatness.
