FARLINGTON
Ekwall, in the Dictionary of English Place Names offers a solution bearing his own stamp: hypothetical Old English 'Fearnlea(g)ingatun'='farm of those associated with a place called 'Fearnleah'' ('bracken clearing'). No such place has been identified in this connection and it is impossible to know whether it is to be associated in any way with FAREHAM (Old English 'Fearnham') though the supposed place name is formally acceptable. The only alternative would involve guessing at the former existence of a hypothetical man's name 'Faerla'. (See further under FAREHAM.)
