Shire \Shire\, n. [AS. sc[imac]re, sc[imac]r, a division,

Note: Shire is commonly added to the specific designation of

are used in England. In the United States the composite
word is sometimes the only name of a county; as,
Berkshire county, as it is called in Massachusetts,
instead of Berks county, as in Pensylvania.
