I've been told the name, Rugby, is a welsh name, as is the name Baker; But what does the name, Rugby, mean/what is the definition of the name Rugby??

Or...

two alternate possibilities from Anglo-Saxon, both pertaining to the place-name Rugby:

- fortified place of a man named Hroca

- fort frequented by rooks

- Da.

I found Rugby as English name meaning "from the raven's estate". Whatever that means.
