The name Chadderton derives from Caderton, which is believed to be a combination of the Brythonic word Cader or Cater (modern Welsh: Caer), indicating a fortified place amongst the hills, and the Old English suffix -ton meaning a settlement.[9][10][11] The University of Nottingham's Institute for Name-Studies has offered a similar suggestion, that the name Chadderton means "farm or settlement at the hill called Cadeir".[12] This name is believed to date from the 7th century, when Angles colonised the region following the Battle of Chester.[13] It has been suggested that the Anglian settlers found a few Brythonic Celts already inhabiting what is now called Chadderton, and borrowed their name for the hill, "Chadder", adding their own word for a settlement to the end.[14] Archaic spellings include Chaderthon, Chaderton, Chaterton, and Chatherton.[15] The first known written record of the name Chadderton is in a legal document relating to land tenure, in about 1220.[
