The name—in French Bois-du-Fays—comes from Latin lucus fagus, beech grove. The toponym Latofao, from latus fagus, beech space, is closely related. The date of the battle may be placed any time after the death of Childeric II in 675 and before the death of Ebroin in 680. Traditionally, it is placed in early 680, after the death of Dagobert II, who died in late 679 (on December 23 according to later martyrologies), and before the death of Ebroin, who was probably dead by May 15.

Spirit of the river: Goldberry, River-woman's daughter by Gregor Roffalski Bombadil makes it clear that he found Goldberry in the river, calling her "River-woman's daughter". This suggests that she is not a mortal, but a spirit of the river Withywindle in the Old Forest of Tolkien's Middle-earth. This is similar to the named river spirits of traditional English folklore, such as Jenny Greenteeth or Peg Powler of the River Tees. The Tolkien critic John D. Rateliff suggests that, at least in terms of Tolkien's early mythology, she should be seen as one of the fays, spirits, and elementals (including the Maia): "Thus Melian is a 'fay', (as, in all probability, are Goldberry and Bombadil; the one a nymph, the other a genius loci)".
