Antingham in Norfolk is once called Andagane in 1212 in the Red Book of the Exchequer.
This form is not given in PN Nf iii.3, and would be inexplicable in any normal way.
I suspect it is from a confusion with a French surname Antegain meaning 'Andegavensis, of Anjou'.
Antegain is found from 1274 to 1490 as an alternative manorial affix for Stonham Aspal in Suffolk.
The problem is that Antegain is not in the OFr dictionaries. Has anyone seen it elsewhere?
