Etymology
There can be little doubt that the first element is OE teld , 'tent, pavilion,' possibly in the gen. pl. In Sir Gawayne and the Greene Knight (l. 11) the word is used in the wider sense of habitations. What dwellings may be referred to it is impossible to say. The only alternative would be to take it as OE Teolta , a pers. name only evidenced from the place-name teoltan-ford (BCS 699).
