The name probably means 'the herb wood' from the Olde English pre 7th century 'leac wudu', but it may well derive from 'lycce', to describe an enclosure in a wood.
Additional Information:
There are three villages called 'Lightwood' all situated in Staffordshire, and an even smaller hamlet called 'Lightwood Green' not far away in Cheshire.
