Etymology

'Dufgall 's farm,' v. by . The OWScand  pers. name Dufgall is a borrowing from OIr  Dubhghall 'the black foreigner,' a term originally applied to the Danish Vikings in Ireland (cf. IPN 35; Revue Celtique xliv, 41, 47). The extraordinary fluctuation in the early spellings of the name is due to the unfamiliarity of the pers. name, though it is twice found independently in Yorkshire in DB and the 12th century as Duuegald and Duglel (sic).
