The Surname Jekyll.— This name occurs in the following early instances : 1086, 'Domesday Book,' ii. 263 b, Ivichelis pres- biteri, gen., co. Norfolk ii. 438, /nickel presl/iteri, co. Suffolk, both representing Juikel; 'Pipe Roll,' 15 Henry II., 160, Jukel de Archi ; same, anno 20,130, 136, John Jukel, Jekel; same, anno 21, 199, John Jukel, all co. Hants; 1194, 'Hot. Curire Regis,'i. 109, Matilda, late the wife of Robert, son of Jekel, versus John, son of Jukel, co. Lincoln ; 1278-9,'Rot. Hundred.,' ii. 341, John Jukel, co. Bucks. The u in these instances has the French pronunciation, which suggests that the name is not English. It is really the same name as the Tudichel* Iudicellus of Domesday, and of the Winton Domesday {temp. Hen. I.), the d disappearing between vowels owing to a well-known law of French phonology. This name is merely the Breton Judic-fiael, Judic-hdil. The equivalence in the twelfth century of Judicliel and Juchil may be proved by the fact that William of Malmesbury, ' Gesta Regum,' sec. 148, sub- stitutes, in his account of the rowing of Edgar on the Dee by tributary kings in 973, Jud-echil (wrongly printed Judethil) for the Juchilf of Florence of Worcester, from whom, I believe, he derived this account. Judic-hael seems to be a specifically Breton name, although the Welsh had the form Judic and Jud-hael. the latter of which was by them shortened to Iddhel, whence the surname Bethel—Ap Ithel. The Breton Jud- hael, Juthel, after losing its dental in accord- ance with the law mentioned above, produced Anglo-French Juhel, Juhel, now represented by the surname Jetvell. The first stem of these names is the Indo-Germanic iudh, " battle," preserved in Sanskrit and in the Greek vo-p-im). The second stem is the Celtic hael, "generous man." It is well known that the Normans were accompanied by Bretons, and Mr. Round, in his 'Feudal England,' has collected evidence of the presence of the latter in several of the counties mentioned above. W. H. Stevenson. capitals / and L, and hence this name appears as Ludichd. Mr. Scarle, ' Onomasticon Anglo- Saxonicum,' 340, suggests for this an O.E. Lcod- cylcl—an improbable O.E. name, because cytel was not an O.E. name-stem and Leod was not an O.N. one, the Scandinavians being the only Germanic people who used "kettle," probably meaning a sacrificial vessel, in compounding personal names. Nor is it easy to see how O.E. co in an accented syllable could be represented by u. t This Juki/ is mentioned in a spurious Canter- bury charter of 966, 'Cart. Sax.,' iii. 448, which borrows the names of the tributary kings from Florence. In the case of Florence confusion with the O.N. Io-kell, from lo-ketill, is possible, for Juchil is not an insular Celtic name, and Domesday seems to represent O.N. Io-steinn by Jwttan, &c. It is interesting to recall that this O.N. io-r (O.E. coh, Old Saxon ehu, Gothic cu-a-, written aihica-) is the form to which Germanic sound-changes reduced the Indo-Germ. ekwott (Sanskrit acwas, Greek 'nriros, Latin equue), a favourite Iudo.-Germ. name-stem.
