coney greenn.

Brit. /ˈkəʊnɪ ˌɡriːn/, U.S. /ˈkoʊni ˌɡrin/
Forms: see coney n.1 and green adj. and n.1
Origin: Apparently formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: coney n.1, green n.1
Etymology: Apparently coney n.1 + green n.1, probably as an alteration of cunnigar n. (compare β. forms and see discussion at that entry).Coney Green occurs frequently as a minor place name or field name, often replacing earlier name forms that reflect cunnigar n. or its etymon; compare e.g. Coney Green Farm, Egstow, Derbyshire (1591 as Conygrie), Coney green (field name) Saintbury, Gloucestershire (1539 as le Connyger), Coneygreen Leys (field name) Easthorpe, Leicestershire (1772; 1567 as Conynggre leys, 1736 as the Coneygree Lays), Coney Green (field name) Irby upon Humber, Lincolnshire (1800; compare Conygreene-lane (1662; 1602 as Conegry layne)).
