Bedfordshire first recorded use of the name in 1011 was "Bedanfordscir" meaning the shire or county of Bedford, which itself means "Bedas Ford" (river crossing). The traditional nickname for people of Bedfordshire is Bedfordshire Bulldogs or Clangers, the latter deriving from the local dish comprising of a suet crust pastry filled with meat in one end and jam in the other.

Buckinghamshire is Anglo-Saxon in origin and means The district (scire) of Bucca's home. Bucca's home refers to Buckingham in the north of the county, and is named after an Anglo-Saxon landowner. The county has been so named since about the 12th century; however, the county has existed since it was a subdivision of the kingdom of Mercia (585–919).

Hertfordshire is an English county, founded in the Norse–Saxon wars of the 9th century, and developed through commerce serving London. It is a land-locked county that was several times the seat of Parliament. Today, with a population slightly over 1 million, Hertfordshire retains much of its historic character, but its industry and commerce have changed radically. From origins in brewing and papermaking, through aircraft manufacture, the county has developed a wider range of industry in which pharmaceuticals, financial services and film-making are prominent.
