==Toponymy==
'''Salhouse''' is first recorded in 1291 as ''Salhus''.<ref>François de Beaurepaire (préf. Marianne Mulon), ''Les Noms des communes et anciennes paroisses de la Seine-Maritime'', Paris, A. et J. Picard, 1979, p.132.</ref> The first element is believed to derive from Old English ''salh'' "[[sallow]]",<ref>De Beaurepaire 132</ref> a kind of [[willow]]. The word still exists in dial. English ''saugh''. Sallow descends itself from OE inflexional ''salg-'' (ME ''salwe'').<ref>T. F. Hoad, ''English Etymology'', Oxford University Press, 1993. p.414.</ref>

The second element is the Old English ''hūs'' or Old Norse ''hús'' "house".{{citation needed|date=May 2021}}

Homonymy with [[Sahurs]] ([[Normandy]], ''Salhus'' ar. 1024) in the low [[Seine valley]], which shows together with other place-names and anthroponyms in Normandy, that there were Anglo-Saxons among the Danish settlers.{{citation needed|date=May 2021}}
