Etymology
The relation of these names to one another is not certain. Ringcombe is in a valley. Ringedon was probably the hill above it. The two names with the same first element, together with early forms Ringhen -, Ringe -, make it likely that in both cases we have to do with a pers. name Hringa , an unrecorded pet-form of one of the numerous OE names in Hring -.
