Estrées, Nord

Estrées is a commune in the Nord department in northern France.

[3] It is one of many villages in the north of France bearing the name Estrées.

The etymology of the name is from strata (cognate of English "street"), the word for the stone-layered Roman roads in the area (some of which turned into modern highways).

Hence Estreti, village on the road which developed into Estrées.

(Oignies, Beaucamps-Ligny, Estrées, Gruson and Wicres use the same arms.)
