River Smite
The River Smite is a tributary of the River Devon, that flows for through Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire, England. The source is to be found near to the hamlet of Holwell, in Leicestershire and it joins the River Devon near Shelton. The Smite and its tributaries, which include the River Whipling, the Stroom Dyke, and the Dalby Brook, drain an area of of agricultural land in the Vale of Belvoir. ==Name== In the 17th century the river was known as the Snite, this and the modern spelling are thought to derive from the Old English word 'Smita' denoting a 'foul or miry place', which is linked to another OE word 'Smitan', which means to daub or pollute. This indicates that the name Smite means 'the dirty, miry stream.'
