Whittlesey is an English town 6 miles east of Peterborough in the Fenland district of Cambridgeshire. Its population of 16,058 at the 2011 Census included the neighbouring villages of Coates, Eastrea, Pondersbridge and Turves.
Whittlesey appears in the Cartularium Saxonicum as 'Witlesig', in the 1086 Domesday Book as 'Witesie', and in the Inquisitio Eliensis. The meaning is "Witel's island", deriving from either Witil, "the name of a moneyer", or a diminutive of Witta, a personal name; + "eg", meaning "'island', also used of a piece of firm land in a fen."
