From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are several theories about the origin of the name Bicester. It may be derived from a personal name Beorna and it may mean the ‘Fort of the Warriors’ or be Latin for Bi-cester, which means ‘two forts’. Bicester has been in use since the mid 17th century and derives from earlier forms including Berncestre, Burencestre, Burcester, Biciter and Bissiter; the John Speed map of 1610 shows four different spellings and historian GH Dannatt found 45 variants in wills of the 17th and 18th centuries.
