Its name comes from the Scandinavian personal name Úlfr, while skelf may be an Old English word meaning "a flat area" (a cognate of shelf),[2] although it could be from the Old Scandinavian equivalent, 'skialf'[3] as in several other English pace names, e.g. Hunshelf, Wadshelf.[3] In this geographical context 'skelf' would mean 'bank' (of the river). The settlement was recorded in the Domesday Book as Oleschel and Oleslec.[4][2]
