Origins of name? edit

Latest comment: 4 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I came to this article hoping to find at least one sentence explaining why it's called "Flintshire". I presume that it's because in early times there were abundant deposits of flint in the area. (I just created a new Category:Flint (rock).) I was hoping for confirmation, but alas, not a word on the subject. :-( Perhaps a knowledgable editor could add a sentence or two about the origins of the name? (Please be kind enough to Ping me when you reply. Thanks.) Regards, Anomalous+0 (talk) 09:47, 5 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
