Edenbridge

[edit]

The etymology of Edenbridge, Kent suggests its name derives from the Old English Eadhelmsbrigge (meaning "Eadhelm's Bridge").[1] I'm not conversant with Early Medieval English given names: perhaps someone with more knowledge in this area could judge whether this is likely to be the same Ealdhelm? ~dom Kaos~ (talk)
