I once heard a story about Torpenhow Hill, somewhere in England. With the Welsh Saxons, and Norse, in which order I don't remember, establishing successive territorial dominance over an area including this hill, it became "How Hill," and then "Penhow Hill" and then "Torpenhow Hill," which by now means Hill Hill Hill Hill.

Someone please correct my inaccuracies in this re-telling.

Kind of like the way a duvet became a duvet cover, which is cover cover.
