Etymology
Forms in Wale - by far outnumber those in Wal - so this must be 'the cottage, hut, shelter of the Welshmen', v. walh (gen.pl. wala ), cot , identical with Walcot near Folkingham and Walcott near Billinghay, both in Kesteven. If the names are early, they must represent isolated groups of Welshmen identifiable as such in Anglo-Saxon England, perhaps as late as the late 7th century. For a full discussion, v. Kenneth Cameron, “The meaning and significance of Old English walh in English place-names”, JEPN 12 (1980), 1–53.
