==Etymology==
The second element of ''Egglescliffe'' is from Old English ''clif'', 'steep slope'. The first element has been etymologised as Latin ''ecclesia'' 'church' or the form it took when borrowed into Cumbric, represented today by Welsh ''eglwys''. However, the first element could also be from an Anglo-Saxon personal name like ''Ecgi'' or ''Ecgel'', in which case the name means 'Ecgel's steep slope'.〔Bethany Fox, 'The P-Celtic Place-Names of North-East England and South-East Scotland', The Heroic Age, 10 (2007), http://www.heroicage.org/issues/10/fox.html (appendix at http://www.heroicage.org/issues/10/fox-appendix.html).〕
