Etymology
The forms of this name are very late but it looks as if the first element were a pers. name Ēswald . Such names in Ēs - are not on record, but as we have, side by side in OE , pers. names Ōsa and Oesa with un-mutated and mutated vowels from the stem Ōs - so commonly found in OE pers. names, so there may have been such pairs of compound-names as Ōswald , Ēswald .
