Etymology
'Hwīta's island of land' from the OE pers.n. Hwīta and ēg 'island of land'. Ekwall's alternative suggestion 'white island' can be ruled out on topographical grounds since the ground is not chalky here. On the other hand the church is situated on a distinct island of land, an excellent ēg- site.
