Lytchett Matravers is a village and civil parish in Dorset, England. The 2011 census recorded the parish as having 1,439 households and a population of 3,424.
The name comes from the Brittonic litchet meaning "grey wood" and the Norman surname "Maltravers." Until the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 a Danish lord called Tholf held the manor of Lytchett.
An alternative derivation of the name Lytchett is from the word lynchet or linchet , which is an earth terrace found on the side of a hill. Lynchets are a feature of ancient field systems of the British Isles. Such terraces were visible in Garden Wood above the Church and Manor in the 1970's.
