Etymology
Soilwell, Sulla, Solewalle 1282For , Suleie 1221Ass , Sulley als. Soylewell 1629 Inq, Soylwell 1727 Will. Two original p.ns. seem to be involved, both possibly from sol 'mud, wallowing place'; v. wella (Merc wælla) 'well', lēah 'clearing'. The later form Soil - is probably due to the substitution or influence of l.ME soyle (OFr soil ) 'the muddy wallowing place of a wild-boar', 'a pool used as a refuge by a hunted animal' (NED s.v.).
