CHITTLEBURG, CHITTLEBURGH:
(i) Matthew de Chytelesber'
1275 Rh (D). From Chittleburn (Devon), where -burn is, as
not uncommonly, for earlier -burgh.
(ii) Matthew Chettleborowe,
1653 EA (NS) ii (Sf); Thomas Chittleborough, Henry Chetleburgh,
Robert Chickleborowe 1674 HTSf.
From Kettleburgh (Suffolk), Chetelbiria,
Kettleberga
DB , "ketil's hill' or possibly a Scandinavianized form of an OE *cetel-beorg
'hill by a narrow valley' (DEPN). The persistence of the Ch- in
the local pronunciation suggests that the latter is the correct etymology.
