Former names: "Shipey's Yard" (O. and M. 1677). "Shippey's Yard" (Hatton, 1708-Strype, 1755). " Shepherds Garden" (Rocque, 1746). " Ship Yard " (Lockie, 1810). " Sheppy Yard " (O.S. 5 ft. 1875 to 1897) (L.C.C. List of Streets, 1902).

It seems probable from the earlier forms that the name was derived from the builder or owner of the property.
