Etymology
First attested as hitinkufe and hintinlvofe around 822-825. Derived from a compound of nl ofs hinda hind, female deer and ofs hlop jump, leap, apparently referring to a lower section of fencing which deer could jump over. The Dutch form of the toponym was borrowed from an older version of the Frisian name. Compare en Hindlip.
