Etymology

The second element of Egglescliffe is from Old English clif, 'steep slope'. The first element has been etymologised as Latin ecclesia 'church' or the form it took when borrowed into Cumbric, represented today by Welsh eglwys. However, the first element could also be from an Anglo-Saxon personal name like Ecgi or Ecgel, in which case the name means 'Ecgel's steep slope'.^[6]
