In 1243, the name was recorded as "Haringesheye", an intermediate form between the Saxon "Heringes-hege" and its three present-day forms. With the second ‘g’ pronounced as ‘y’ in Old English, it can be seen how close the two versions were. In 1371 "Haryngeay" was recorded, and 16 years later "Haringey" appeared for the first time, making it the oldest of the three present-day forms. "Haryngay" appeared in 1393 and "Harringay" in 1569. The variant that became Hornsey developed the addition of an 's' in the middle with the use of "Harnsey", recorded in 1392, and "Hornsey" appeared in 1646.
