It appears that the word Frith in the name is doubtful as regards the orthograph. In the French language the word is written Frith that is Bras de mer, i.e an arm of the Sea. Detroit in the same, implies a Straight, or Frith Also in the Latin the word aestuarium, and fretum both of which means in that language a Frith or arm of the Sea, also all the English lexicographers write it Frith, consequently the correct mode may be Solway Frith.
