Ælfrun 1
who was a sister of Romsey Abbey in the late tenth or early eleventh century. The name also occurs in a handful of place-names (Hough 2002: 90) but only two of these need be pre-Conquest coinings: Afflington in Dorset is discussed under Ælfrun 4, while the Sussex hundred-name Auronehelle recorded in DB appears to derive from Ælfrun and Old English hyll ‘hill’ (Mawer et al. 1929-30: 2 408).
