Etymology
This may possibly, as Ekwall (DEPN) suggests, be OE fearnlēam , '(at the) fern clearings,' or fearnlēah -hām , 'hāmby a fern clearing,' v. lē(a)h. It is less likely that hām should have been compounded with a Scandinavian personal name such as the Faraldr or Farle which may occur in Farlesthorpe (L) and Farleton (La) respectively.
