EMBLEY, Domesday Book manor, house in Wellow
Hypothetical Old English 'Efnanleah'='(the) level clearing'. There is no bar in theory to its being 'Emma's wood/clearing', the name being that borne by AElfgifu queen of AEthelraed II and of Cnut; though the status of this as an English name is open to doubt.
