==Place name==
Bonjedward, recorded as ''Bonjedworth'' in 1342, is formed of the original name of Jedburgh (''Gedwearde'' c.1050, ''Gedwirth'' 1177) and the Gaelic word ''bun'' 'river-mouth'. 'Jedward', rather than 'Jed' has been interpreted as the name of the river by the Gaelic speakers who coined Bonjedward. 'Jedward' itself is formed of the ancient river-name 'Jed' and Old English ''weorð'' 'an enclosure' (later 'an enclosed homestead').〔 The element ''weorð'' was replaced by Middle English ''burgh'' 'town'; ''Jeddeburgh'' is recorded in c.1160.〔 The name Jed is of obscure origin.〔 James has suggested that it may derive from Proto-Indo-European ''
*wei(h1)- d-'' 'a bend, something curved or twisted'. He also notes that Scots ''Gedde- ''in Jedburgh may have been adopted from Cumbric '' gwï:δ'' 'a wood', and that the river name may be a back-formation.
