This board has the user-submitted name Guidone, defined as a variant of Guido and therefore said to mean 'wood', presumably the stuff that furniture is made of, rather than an area of wild trees, smaller than a forest.

How a name like that ended up in 16th-century Yorkshire, I can't imagine! But whoever wrote it down could easily have confused -e and -i as end letters: births, marriages and deaths often feature spelling errors.
