==Etymology== The second element of Eggleston is Old English tün, 'enclosure, estate, settlement'. The first element could be the Cumbric word *eglēs, represented today by Welsh eglwys 'church'. However, the first element could also be from the Old Norse personal name Egill or an Anglo-Saxon personal name like Ecgwulf or Ecgel, in which case the name means 'Ecgel's estate'.
