Etymology
The occasional spellings with -e - might indicate that the first el. was sometimes felt to be OE ryne 'water-course', the source of dial. reen 'ditch', rhine 'large open ditch or drain', rune 'water-course'.Runsell Green Ess 249 has only ME spellings in -u - and -o -, so may, as Reaney suggests, contain a pers.n. *Rūn .
