The colonists from the north will not deprive the Gascons and Aquitanians of their lands. The area was large and rich enough to accommodate everyone. Northerners cleared land, founded their farms and gave them their name. EYKELL is a name found in French toponymy. Eycheil in Ariège has the same root as Echillais, anc. Echillos, in Charente Maritime. Echillais is said to correspond to Eykellhus, the house of Eykell.
