Help[Surname] Re: The name Ella or Aella
in reply to a message by Marc
A-HA! I have both of those works but it never occurred to me to look under "Ella" as both names are written as one word. Thanks, Marc.
On the OE personal name Aella/Ella; East Yorkshire was a kingdom in the early Middle Ages, called Deira. One king of Deira was named Ella (d.558), and I've seen Kirkella explained as the "church of (King) Ella". Clearly not correct.
