Cave

The Tribe of Cave represented here by Lord Gregory, Seneschal of Cave. The Cave name has descended through the generations from the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture. Their name comes from having lived in the settlement named Cave in the East Riding of Yorkshire; this area has become the county of Humberside in modern times. The name of this settlement is derived from the name of a nearby river, which in turn derived its name from the Old English word caf, which means swift. The surname Cave may also be a variation of the Anglo-Norman name Chaff, a nickname for a bald man. The derivation is from the Old French word chauf, which means bald.
