Editing Coltishall (section)

==Etymology==
Coltishall's name is of [[Old English]] origin and first attested in the [[Domesday Book]] of 1086 in the forms ''Cokereshala'' and ''Coketeshala''. From 1200 onwards, it is attested in the contracted form ''Couteshal(e)'', in which form it has more or less remained to the present day (the ''l'' in the modern spelling is due to [[hypercorrection]]). The second part of the name is thought to derive from the Old English word ''halh'' ('nook') but the origin of the first part is uncertain; one guess is that it was an otherwise unattested personal name ''Coccede'' or ''Cohhede'', and thus meant 'Coccede's nook'.<ref> University of Nottingham.
