anyone? Cramyourspam (talk) 15:36, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In A History of the County of York: the City of York the footnote in the section 'before the Norman conquest' says 'Hold' was a rank between earl and thegn - the background section of this Wiki article also references other sources which give this as the reason for the name.
