Etymology
Soulby Fell (v. fiall , under fell ) is so named in 1487 (Ipm). ODan Sūle +býr . Cf. Soulby (We) (Sulebi 1195 P), Sulby (PN Nth 121), Sulby in Kirk Christ Lezayre (Sulebi c. 1376 Chron. Manniæ, Soulby 1515 Man. Roll) and in Kirk Conchan (PN IOM 545 and 237). This seems preferable to a compound of OE sulh , 'trench', and býr , the alternative suggestion for Sulby in PN Nth.
