Several explanations for the name "Mendip" have been suggested. Its earliest known form is
in 1185. One suggestion is that it is derived from the medieval term "Myne-deepes". However, A D Mills derives its meaning from Celtic
, meaning mountain or hill, with an uncertain second element, perhaps Old English

Yet another explanation is that Mendip is cognate with the Basque word 'mendi' meaning mountain. This would support the theory of a Basque-like language in use in the British isles before the emergence of the Celtic languages. This is supported by recent DNA evidence that shows exceptionally strong genetic links between the British Celtic people and the Basques.
Frome, Glastonbury and Shepton Mallet are the only towns in the district, as Wells has city status and Street has maintained its status as a village despite a population in excess of 11,000.
