Eling is a village in the civil parish of Totton and Eling, in the New Forest district, in the county of Hampshire, England.[1] The parish was originally just called Eling, even though the larger town of Totton was described as the "principal place in the parish" from as early as 1875.[2]

The village is located 86 miles (138 km) from London and is 5 miles northwest of the centre of Southampton.[2]

The name "Eling" means 'Edla's people'.[3] Eling was recorded in the Domesday Book as Edlinges.[4]
