Etymology
Rus Mickle, Rusmickle 1535 (1669) Kend ii, 97, 1667, 1708 PRet freq to 1823 M, Rushmickle 1785 PR(Cr). This might be an inversion compound with the pers.n. Michael (ON Mikiáll ), but the forms are too late to reveal the source of the first el.; on topographical grounds it is unlikely to be OE risc 'rush-bed', but a possible origin is an ON *rust , suggested by Rygh (NGIndl 72) for such Norw p.ns. as Rustøien (NG xii, 492); this word would be the source of Norw rust 'wooded hill', Icel rúst 'hillock', Faroese rust 'ridge' (cf. Franzen, LaxdON 133); Beckmickle (i, 158infra ) is a similar formation.
