Historically part of Westmorland, its name is said to be derived from the Norse words askr, meaning "ash", and by, meaning "farm".[1] A chapel at the site (St Leonard's Chapel), of which little remains, is the main reason that the village was built.[1] Just outside the village, to the west, is Little Asby Common, which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area of Conservation because of the plant species that inhabit the limestone pavement areas, as well as the limestone geology of the area.[2] In chronostratigraphy, the British sub-stage of the Carboniferous period, the 'Asbian' derives its name from Little Asby Scar.[3] See also{{portal|Cumbria}}
