From en la Amlethus, as written by 13th-century Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus, and borrowed into English by way of François de Belleforest's en fr Hamlet, originally rendered as Hamblet in English. Ultimately from en gmq-oda Amlethæ, corresponding to non Amlóði fool, claimed to be suggestive of the way that Hamlet acts in the play, from non ama to annoy.
