Best Answer

It is likely an abbreviation for hundred. A hundred was a geographic division in Old England. When first introduced by the Saxons before the Norman Conquest a hundred contained enough land to sustain one hundred families. Each was at first governed by a hundred man. Later the hundred man was selected by the most prominent families.The men of the hundred chose a meeting place to discuss local issues and hold local trials. The name of the meeting place became the name of the hundred and that name can often be seen on ancient maps.
