ÆLLE. The
same as Anglo-Saxon Ælla
(q.v.), a pet form of names beginning with Æl- or Ælf-, meaning "elf."
A bishop of
Lichfield, whose name was Ælfwine,
was always called Ælla, and thus there is reason to suppose that elves
named both the Ælle of Deira, whose name caused Gregory the Great to
say that Alleluja should be sung in those regions, and also the later Ælla, who put Ragnar Lodbrog to death... (History of Christian Names, Yonge,
1884)
About the year 920, Ælle was
Governor of the Castle of Bristol, and gained many signal victories over
the Danes, particularly at Watchet... (A Book of Exmoor, Snell,
1903)
