Paddington Green and Paddington Bear from a 7th Century Anglo-Saxon Chiefton! Wow

 "Paddington" is believed to mean "the homestead or village of Padda's people," derived from Old English, where "tun" means homestead or village and "Padda" was likely a 7th-century Anglo-Saxon chieftain or family name. Therefore, Paddington Green is named after the historical village of Paddington, which was situated near the area where it is today

I'm watching the Netflix 7/7 terrorist London bombing documentary - and it mentioned Paddington Green..
