Etymology
The first element of the name is agreed to be the word elf, either in singular or plural form.[3][4]: 67 The second element was long thought to derive from Old English dūn 'hill', but reanalysis of the primary evidence revealed that the second element is from Old English denu 'valley'. Thus at the time when it was coined, the name meant 'elves' valley' or something like it.[4]: 65–67
