Perspective

The name of the locality is attested in the form Scotvilla in 1101 (note AG according to the Red Cartulary of Troarn) ; Escoldivilla in 1109 (Dictionnaire topographique, according to the cartulary of Troarn) ; Scolvilla in 1156 - 1161 (act H 2, 169); Escotvilla in 1201 (AC,H 941) ; Ecovilla in 1128 (charter of Sainte-Barbe) ; Escovilla in 1208 (Charter of the abbey of Aunay).^[4]^[5]

Albert Dauzat and, following him, Ernest Nègre consider that the first element Escold- represents the Germanic personal name Ascald(us),^[6] variant form Ascolt,^[7] while there is no ancient form in As-. Furthermore, they did not know the first form Scotvilla, which is entirely compatible with the evolutions Escotvilla > Ecovilla (type scola > escole > école), but not really with *Ascaldvilla > Escoldivilla or *Ascoltvilla > Escoldivilla, we should end up in *Escauville in one case and *Escouville in the other. This is why François de Beaurepaire identifies the ethnic scot as "Scottish" (Scot as "the Scotsman" cf. surname Lescot, modern French l'Écossais).^[5]
