Etymology
Probably 'Ceafa's enclosure', v. edisc . The first el. is not certain.An OE pers.n. Ceafa is not on record unless Ciaba (Redin 88) is a variant of it; it would be connected etymologically with OE ceaf 'chaff'. Dr Feilitzen regards Ciaba as a Kentish spelling of Ceoba , and not connected with ceaf . It is possible that Cheveridge (Wo 51) contains the same pers.n. The second el. has clearly been influenced by OE ecg 'edge, escarpment'. In some forms we have OE dūn 'down' added.
