Origins of "Oddfellows Arms" as a Pub Name

The Independent Order of Oddfellows (IOOF) is a popular organization in the UK, and there are many IOOF lodges throughout the country. This means that it is not uncommon for pubs to be located near or owned by IOOF members. As a result, it is likely that some pubs were named "Oddfellows Arms" simply because they were associated with the IOOF.

However, there is also a more historical reason why some pubs might be called "Oddfellows Arms". In the early days of the IOOF, the organization was often seen as a way for people to help each other in times of need. This made it a popular organization among the working class, and many pubs were frequented by IOOF members. As a result, some pubs may have been named "Oddfellows Arms" as a way to attract customers from the working class.

The Sign of the Oddfellows Arms - geograph.org.uk - 789077


A horse walks into a bar and says "On a right-angle triangle with sides x, y and z, if x and z are perpendicular then which side is opposite the right angle?". The barman thinks for a minute and replies "Y - the long face"

What's a Canonical Name?

To simplify searches, each pub on our database has a Canonical Name - usually a shortened version of its full name missing out any common prefixes and suffixes like "The Old", "Inn", "Tavern" and so on.

This means that "The Old Crown", "The Crown Inn" and "Ye Olde Crown Taverne" are known canonically as, simply, "Crown".

We've also dropped the "The", standarised with "and" instead of "&" and in some cases simplified pluralisation.

Did we miss one?

With so many pubs across the UK regularly opening, closing, changing hands, changing name it's a non-stop job keeping our database up to date!
