Rayleigh is a market town and civil parish in the District of Rochford in Essex, England, located between Chelmsford and Southend-on-Sea. It lies to the east of central London. It had a population of 30,196 in 2001, increasing to 32,150 at the census 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Town population 2015 )〕 ==Toponymy== The name "Rayleigh" is Saxon in origin and is cognate to the German place name ''Rehlach'' of the same meaning . According to the English Place Names Society, "Rayleigh" derives from "raege", and "leah", meaning "Female roe-deer stream" or "she-goat stream" .〔English Place-Name Society 2008〕 According to the Rayleigh Civic Society, "Roa" is a Saxon word for Roebuck and "Lea" a pasture probably for goats.〔Rayleigh Civic Society 2006〕 In any case, the connection with deer continued through the centuries. Lands around Rayleigh were used as Royal hunting forests for many hundreds of years. A deer was included in the coat of arms of Rayleigh Urban District Council, and in the early 2000s, a new pub was named the "Roebuck".
