Etymology
This may possibly be from an OE Riddelancumb , containing an l -diminu- tive of the recorded pers. name Ridda . We should have expected some forms Ridele -, but cf. Eagle Down supra 355. Professor Förster suggests that the first element may be a derivative of the Cornish word corresponding to W rhyd , 'ford,' ell being a diminutive suffix in modern Welsh, v. Addenda, Part ii, xiii.
