Aldcliffe

== English == === Etymology === Probably from Old English eald (“old”) and clif (“cliff”), meaning "the high land long occupied". Possibly from the Old English personal name Alda, but this is unlikely. Coates (2000) rejects the proposed specifics and suggests a Proto-Brythonic/Cumbric equivalent of Welsh allt (“cliff”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɔː.klɪf/, /ˈɔːld.klɪf/ === Proper noun === Aldcliffe a hamlet near Lancaster in Lancashire, England. === References === Mills, David (1976), “Directory of Place Names”, in The Place Names of Lancashire, London: Batsford Books, →ISBN, page 54
