Trullwell, Trolwell (e )1240–50, 1270 Spillm, 1307 MchCust, Trollewell (e )1400Rent , 1411MinAcct , Trewell (sic), Trolwell Ric 2Rent . The first el. is ambiguous, but could be an early example of e.ModE trolle , trulle , a variant of ME trowelle 'trowel' in the sense of Lat trulla 'scoop' (used with OE wella 'well' in much the same way as was OE byden 'vessel' or canne 'can, cup') or preferably e.ModE trowle , trulle 'a trollop, a strumpet' (NED s.v. trull ) used with wella to denote a well where such women were ducked; the latter seems more likely.
