English (Somerset): variant of Edghill .
English: rarely from the Middle English personal name Eggell (Old English Ecgel), a diminutive of names beginning with Ecg- (from ecg ‘sword’), though this is rare. Alternatively, this name may also derive from the Middle English personal name Eggolf (Old English Ecgwulf, from ecg ‘sword’ + wulf ‘wolf’), though again this is rare.
