In the [[Domesday Book]], Cringleford is listed as a settlement of 25 households located in the [[Hundred (county division)|hundred]] of Humbleyard.

The first element may be Scandinavian, as [[Old Norse]] ''kringla'' means 'a circle'.<ref>[[Eilert Ekwall]], ''The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place-names'', p.131.</ref>
