celde
Old English
Etymology
From Proto-Germanic *keldǭ, cognate with or a late borrowing from Old Norse kelda (Icelandic kelda), possibly from Proto-Indo-European *gʷel- (“to drip, stream”), if so then related to Middle High German qual and quil (German Quelle); Danish kilde; Swedish källa (“source of a stream of water”). Found in place names such as Bapchild (Baccancelde). Dialectical Northern English keld may be from Old Norse, whence Halikeld, Salkeld, Kildwick and Threlkeld.
