Halfway

I`ve seen lots of places named Halfway. Is it just a name or are they halfway points??

If you're a mile from there, then it's Halfway between where you are and 2 miles further on.

...my mother lives at a house called Halfwey, although today it doesnt seem to be halfway between anywhere, apparently in years gone by it was a halfway point between the 2 market towns via the old coach roads, people used to stop there to water their horses while they were taking their livestock to market...
