I.

IDLESS (De). "From Edles or Ideless, i. e. narrow breadth (in Kenwyn), formerly the voke lands of a considerable manor, was denominated a family of gentlemen surnamed De Idless, whose heir was married to Hamley, temp. Edw. III." (Hals.) This etymology, which would seem to be from ydn narrow, les broad, is hardly reasonable, and the name may be connected with that of St. Ide, a manor mentioned by D. Gilbert under St. Issey. Ide-less would signify the court or hall of Ide.

INCE, INCH. See Ennes.

INDEAN. See Endean.
