ELLISFIELD
The first two forms are the typical ones, and the name may thus be hypothetical Old English 'Ielfsanfeld'='open land of Ielfsa', as Ekwall suggests. 'Ielfsa' would be a regular West Saxon dialect form of hypothetical 'AElfsa' a short form of the common 'AElfsige'. The place is nowadays in a well wooded area.
