hamlet

hamlet: [14] Hamlet is a double diminutive: etymologically it means ‘little little village’. It comes from Old French hamelet, a diminutive form of hamel, which was itself a diminutive of ham ‘village’. This was borrowed from a Germanic word related to English home, and to the -ham in many English place-names.
