Allerby is a hamlet in the civil parish of Oughterside and Allerby, Allerdale district, Cumbria, England.
'Allerby' was originally called " 'Ailward's', that is 'Æðelward's, Crosby', afterwards reduced to 'Ailward's bȳ'." So, 'the village or hamlet of Ailward'. ('Bȳ' is Old English from the Old Norse 'býr',meaning 'village' or 'hamlet'.)
