Etymology
The first el. is a Scandinavianised form of Iadulf , cf. the OE pers.n Ēadwulf . The normal English development is represented in forms in Edolt (h )orp , Edoluestorp , Eduluestorp . Forms in Iadulf (es )torp , Hiadeltorp , Yadiltorp , etc., have been Scandinavianised, as Dr Insley points out. He further notes that in these forms the OE diphthong /ēa/ has undergone a shift of stress to /jā/, which must have happened before the late OE monophthongisation of /ēa/ and which must have also existed side by side with the native form which was continued in the ME forms in Edol -, Edolu -, Edulu -. The second el. is þorp , hence 'Iadulf's secondary settlement, dependent outlying farmstead or village (of Bottesford)'.
