Guldelsmere
Ingoldesmeles 1086
12th c.
"Ingiald's sand-banks", from Ingialds, gen. sing. of the ON masculine name Ingialdr, and melr "a sand-bank". The first element is more specifically from the OEScand form Ingæld, though some early spellings show confusion with the ON masculine name Ingólfr. The citations show only an English plural in -es for the second element, not the ON plural melar. The Domesday Book citation is actually in Guldelsmere, the first syllable having been interpreted as the preposition in and the second element confused with OE, ME mere "a pond.
