Deira was an Anglo-Saxon kingdom in Northern England. The kingdom was previously inhabited by Britons and was probably created in the third quarter of the fifth century when Anglian warriors invaded the Derwent Valley. Deira's territory extended from the Humber to the Tees, and from the sea to the western edge of the Vale of York. It later merged with the kingdom of Bernicia, its northern neighbour, to form the kingdom of Northumbria.
The name of the kingdom is of Brythonic origin from the Proto-Celtic *daru, meaning "oak", in which case it would mean "the people of the Derwent", a derivation also found in the Latin name for Malton, Derventio. It is cognate with the modern Irish doire ; The origin of the name for County Londonderry and city of Derry stems from this word.
