Where the name comes from
Paddington is commonly traced to Old English tūn, "farm, homestead", with a personal name Pad(d)a: "homestead of Padda's people". The derivation is uncertain, and other, speculative explanations exist.
Worth knowing: The sub-surface platforms were called Paddington (Praed Street) until 1947.
