How It Works
Village names use small-scale English landscape morphology — brook, fen, well, sheaf, end, bury, cross — attached to a domestic or trade first element. The generator also produces possessive forms ("Hobb's Furrow") because founder-names are historically common at this settlement size and keep a map from reading as one template.
These are invented settlement names. No real village is described or referenced.
