'Bula 's or Bulli 's village,' v. þorp . For an OE pers. name Bula we may compare Bullington (PN Sx 491), etc. If the pers. name is Scandinavian it is OSwed , ODan Bulle , cognate with the more common OWScand Bolli (LindN), with which there may have been some confusion in form. The latter is found in Boulby, PN NRY 140.
