Additional Information

See BLITON, which notes the possibility of cam[b] + -lïnn. The old forms have been influenced by the forms of Camulodunum and Camlan. Camalan may be the preferable form here since it best fits the forms and avoids false etymology.

Thanks to John Reid for the old forms for Camelon (see Bibliography).
