Gisburn, formerly in the West Riding of Yorkshire, now in Lancashire, is perhaps the most likely candidate for being the hometown of Guy of Gisborne of the ballad ''[[Robin Hood and Guy of Gisborne]]'' (see Evidence below). The place-name is first mentioned, as 'Ghiseburne', in ''Domesday Book'' (1086).

The place-name is first mentioned, as 'Ghiseburne', in Domesday Book (1086). The name probably means 'Gushing stream', referring to a stream that has its origin in springs above the village.[1] Nearby is Gisburn Forest.[2]
