==Toponymy==
The names Iwerne Courtney and Shroton both have long histories. Iwerne () is a Celtic rivername that perhaps refers to a goddess or may mean "yew-river". The village was recorded as ''Ywern'' in 877 AD,〔 and in 1086 in the Domesday Book it was ''Werne''. The addition of Courtney is a result of land by the Iwerne stream being owned in the 13th century by the Courtenay family, the Earls of Devon.〔〔
The name Shroton derives from the Old English ''scīr-rēfa'' and ''tūn'', meaning "sheriff's estate"〔 or "sheriff's town",〔North Dorset District Council, ''Official District Guide'', Home Publishing Co. Ltd., c.1983, p36〕 and its use is due to the lord and tenant-in-chief at the time of Domesday being Baldwin of Exeter, the sheriff of Devon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Iwerne Courtney )〕 In 1403 the name was recorded as ''Shyrevton''.〔
The name Shroton is preferred locally; in his 1980 book ''Dorset Villages'', Roland Gant stated that "I have heard only visitors to Dorset call it Iwerne Courtney"〔
