WARLOCK, WERLOCK, WORLOCK:

Nicholas WARLOC 1279 RH (C); Simon (LE) WARLOK 1290-1 Crowland (C); John WERLOK 1327 SRC. OE WAERLOGA 'traitor, enemy, devil', not noted as a surname, came to be applied especially to the Devil, sorcerers (with particular reference to the power of assuming inhumane shapes) and monsters. The normal development would be to WARLOW. In Scotland we find WARLOCHE and WARLOK, used of wizards. As these forms do not appear before the 16th century, NED discounts association with ON VARDLOKKUR 'incantations'. WARLOC has now been noted in the 13th century on Cambridgeshire manors of Crowland Abbey, a district subject to Scandinavian influence.
