It is located just to the north of Westerein Westerein nl Westerend (Waadhoeke) and to the west of Wjelsryp, which it is administratively a part of.

Etymology 't Heechhout originated on the west side of the bridge over the canal. Around 1700 the bridge itself was referred to as Draayhout ('turn wood').Nederlandse plaatsnamen verklaard Van Berkel Gerard Samplonius Kees 2018 Mijnbestseller.nl 9789463679176 nl At that time, the bridge was still a large rotating plank. Later, in the 19th century, a higher bridge took its place – 't Heechhout is West Frisian for 'the high wood', and is in itself the name of a particular type of bridge. It was after the construction of this bridge that the hamlet was created. This West Frisian name is the official name of the hamlet; the former municipality of Littenseradiel, which became part of the municipality of Waadhoeke in 2018, declared in 1993 that it would render all West Frisian town names official, as opposed to the Dutch variants.https://www.omroepombudsman.nl/uitspraken-en-columns/klacht-over-het-gebruik-van-vernederlandste-friese-plaatsnamen Klacht over het gebruik van vernederlandste Friese plaatsnamen Omroep Ombudsman 7 March 2017 4 October 2023 nl Sometimes the name of the hamlet is spelled as Het Heechhout, which is actually a mixture of Frisian and Dutch (a frisism).a In West Frisian, the article it (the in English and het in Dutch) is oftentimes shortened to 't.
