Where it comes from
Inherited from Middle English wawil-eghed, Middle English wolden-eiged (“having very light-colored eyes; having parti-colored eyes”), from Old Norse vagl-eygr (“having speckled eyes”), in turn from Old Norse vagl (“speck or beam in the eye”) (compare Icelandic vagl (“film over the eye”), Swedish vagel (“stye in the eye”)) and Old Norse eygr, from Old Norse auga, which is cognate to English eye.
