Ernle
Ernle was the surname of an English gentry or landed family descended from the lords of the manor of Earnley in Sussex who derived their surname from the name of the place where their estates lay. Origins Onomastic Onomasticians say that the surname's origin, in being drawn from the name of a manor, is topographical in nature, and identical with the place name's origins. As such, it is derived from an Old English compound name composed of ''earn'' meaning ''eagle'' combined with ''leah'' meaning ''wood''. The name's meaning is interpreted as signifying a place to which eagles resort. The earliest forms noted are ''Earneleach'', ''Earnaleagh'', ''Earnelegh'' found in a document dated 780 during the reign of Oslac, duke of the South Saxons. A later form, ''Earneleia'', derives from a charter of England's King Aethelstan dated 930. Other English place names deriving from the same two words are thought to include Earley, Berkshire and Areley Kings (otherwise Areley-on-Severn) ...

South Wraxall
South Wraxall is a village and a civil parish in Wiltshire, England, north of Bradford on Avon. The village is to the east of the B3109 road from Bradford on Avon to Corsham. The parish includes the village of Lower Wraxall, to the south of South Wraxall; one field separates the two villages. The hamlet of Bradford Leigh is in the southeast of the parish. History The name comes from old English ''wrocc'', meaning a buzzard, although it was also used as a personal name. Its name was first mentioned in 1468 as ''Suthwroxhall'', distinguishing it from North Wraxall which is away. Other spellings of the name included ''wroxhal'' (1227) and ''wrokeshal'' (1242). Nevertheless, South Wraxall was not mentioned in Domesday Book, as it was grouped in with Bradford on Avon. Domesday Book recorded a small settlement of seven households at ''Cubrewelle'', in the southwest of the modern parish. The name survives on maps as Great Cumberwell, and in the names of Cumberwell Park golf course a ...
