glewedale(furlonge) 1577, Glue dale 1606, glue dale 1611, Gleudale 1625, Glewdale 1638, 1679, Glew dale 1721(Dr Insley suggeststhat the first el. is perhaps the ME surn. Gleu, a hypocoristic form of suchnames as Gleudain, Gleulouen, Gleumarocus, for which v. Feilitzen 262 n.1 andKenneth Jackson, A Historical Phonology of Breton, Dublin 1967, para. 335.1.Reaney, s.n. Glew, gives ME examples of Gleu, Glew as a pers.n. and byname,but wrongly regards them as a derivative of OE glēaw'wise, prudent'. Thesecond el. is probably dalr'a valley' rather than deill'a portion of land', butthe situation of the f.n. is unknown)
