Where this word comes from

First attested as harpede in 1108-1121. Etymology uncertain. Potentially derived from Proto-Germanic *harpa (“sharp bend”) suffixed with the collectivising suffix *-iþi. An alternative hypothesis proposes a derivation from Old Dutch *harpian (“to harrow a field”). Compare Herpen, as well as the morphologically similar English toponyms Harpenden, Harpford, Harpley, Harpsden and Harptree.
