Cottingham is a village in the county of the East Riding of Yorkshire in England. It is situated to the northwest of the city of Kingston upon Hull. Cottingham has a population of about 17, 800. It claims to be the largest village in England. However, that claim is apparently debatable as there are also similar claims by Ashington, a village in the county of Northumberland and Lancing, which is located in the county of West Sussex.
The name Cottingham is derived from Cotta, the name of a fifth-century Anglo-Saxon tribal chieftain. Cottingham literally means "homestead of Cotta's people". Cotta, in turn, is derived from Ket. Ket is the female deity worshipped by ancient Britons. The word Ket, in turn, is derived from the word coed, which means wood in the Celtic language. Cottingham was once owned by Gamel, the son of Osbert, who was in possession of the village in the 11th century during the reign of King Edward the Confessor.
