waldoj, 17 days ago There's a village in England named Breedon on the Hill. "Breedon" is a combination of two words—the Celtic “Bre" (which means "hill”) and the Old English "dun" (which means "hill"). So the name of the village is “Hill Hill on the Hill.” But, wait, there's another! Pendle Hill, also in England, comes from the Cumbric "pen” (which means "hill") and the Old English “hyll” (which means “hill”). So: "Hill Hill Hill.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breedon_on_the_Hill#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendle_Hill#History
