Footnote
Note: The English Place Name Society's volume for the North Riding of Yorkshire mentions "Col. Parker suggests that Halnaby took its name from one Halnath who lived there c. 1218", but has forms, e.g. Halnathebi from 1170 onwards. A selion / sellion is one of the strips or ridges of land allotted for cultivation in the open-field system.
