Etymology
The probable interpretation of this name was first suggested by Ritter (153). He notes the phrases on þone ealdan hrunan (BCS 955), which happens to be a Surrey charter, and on ceolling hrunan (BCS 1198), and postulates an OE *hruna , cognate with OHG rono , ModHG rohne , rahne , raune , 'uprooted tree- stem.' He interprets hrunig fealles wæt as standing for hrun (a )- gefealleswæd , i.e. 'ford belonging to the place where there has been a felling of trees.'
