TIL that the neighborhood of Ballard in #Seattle is named after English settler of that surname. The surname itself is Middle English possibly meaning "bald head" or alternately of Celtic/Welsh origin meaning son of the fox. This digression brought by me pronouncing (as a joke) the double-ell as in many dialects of Spanish.
