Etymology
The forms are too late for any certainty, but Professor Ekwall and Dr Ritter agree in suggesting a pers. name *Rægna as the first element, a shortened form of one of the OE names in Rægen -, Regen -. Hence 'Rægna 's farm,' v. wic . If that is the case, we have an example of a rare formation, viz. wic with a pers. name.
