Etymology
The first el. is probably a reduced form of the OE pers.n. Wilheard ; the OE forms are from documents of too late a time to carry much weight against the many Wyl (l )ard - spellings; it is hardly likely to be from OE willere , wyllere 'salt-boiler' as that is a WSax form (corresponding to Angl wellere ). 'Wilheard's water-meadow or island', v. ēg , probably a piece of higher and drier ground above marshland.
