hillock

/ˈhɪɫək/ name C1

A surname from Middle English.

Word Origin Hillock is a little hill, and that -ock ending is an old diminutive suffix from Old English — the same one that gives us 'bullock' (a young bull) and 'paddock' (a small enclosure). Hill itself goes back to Old English hyll, from a PIE root *kel- meaning to rise or be prominent. So a hillock is literally a 'little rise'.
