Typonymy
The name of the locality is attested under the name Escoldivilla in 1109,[4] Ecovilla in 1128,[5] and Escoville in 1208.[6]
Albert Dauzat and his successor, Ernest Nègre, consider that the first unit Escold- represents the Germanic personal name Ascald(us),[7] also written as Ascolt.
Note: the evolution As- > Es- is not certified in the old forms. Perhaps there should be a recourse to an Anglo-Scandinavian anthroponym Skoldr/Skoldi? The prefix -esc results more often from the regular evolution of sk-. A similar processus is found, for example, in the word école, the French word for “school” (Old French escole < Latin scola).
The name (E)scoville has evolved into the English last names Scoville, Scovill, Scoffield, Schofield, and Scourfield.
