Etymology
This is probably from OE Willinga -wīc , 'dairy-farm of Willa's people,' v. wic . The second, third and fourth forms offer difficulties however. The e can only be explained as due to common AN lowering of i to e , the a is probably due to confusion of the resultant Wel - with Anglian wælle , ME walle for welle .
