Possible etymology of Worlington

Possible etymology of Worlington

East Worlington Parish Heritage

It seems likely Worlington is a name in three parts: “Worl” “ing” “ton”.

“Worl” is probably a shortened form of any one of the Old English personal names: Wilhere, Wulfred, Wulffrith or Werwulf.  The “ing” means “people of” and “ton” is enclosure, estate or homestead.
