Etymology
The DB form Dellinge - suggests 'fortification of D(e)alla's people', v. burh (dat.sg. byrig ), but it is difficult to know what weight can be attached to this single DB spelling. On the evidence of the remaining forms 'Dalla's fortification' seems more likely. The alternative DB form Delbebi is erratic, presumably for Delberi .
