Why it is so called Swanage?

The name "Swanage" is believed to derive from the Old English Words "swan" meaning "swan" and "ege," which means "island" or "promontory." This suggests that the area may have been known for swans or a location associated with swans. Additionally, some theories propose that it could refer to a "swan" in a more general sense, symbolizing beauty or tranquility in the coastal landscape. Over time, the name has evolved, but its origins reflect the natural features of the region.
