The place name, Snitterby, seems to contain an unrecorded Old English personal name Syntra, + bȳ (Old Norse), a farmstead, a village, so possibly, 'Syntra's farm or settlement'. Eilert Ekwall suggests that this personal name is a derivative of the Old English word snotor, snytre meaning 'wise' The place appears in the Domesday survey of 1086 as Esnetrebi (twice) and Snetrebi.
