This name, in turn, is a corruption of shed or sheth, which refers to a divide or separation.[8][9] The second half of the name Sheffield refers to a field, or forest clearing.[10] Combining the two words, it is believed that the name refers to an Anglo-Saxon settlement in a clearing by the confluence of the River Don and River Sheaf.[11]"
