Etymology
The forms suggest OE *Walingburna , which could be explained as 'stream associated with Walh ('Welshman')', v. burna , -ing-. Compounds of burna with personal names are rather rare, however. Walburn PN NRY 270 is 'stream of the Welshmen', but the Walleybourne forms require a connective -ing -, and this is most appropriate with a personal name.
It is probably only a coincidence that an estate here was granted to John Walensis in the early 13th cent. (SBL 6903 ). An -ing- formation would not be coined at that date, and in any case the place-name was in existence at the date of the grant. An earlier owner named Walh seems the likeliest explanation.
