This is unlikely to be truly historical: "They may descend from one Hiallt, a Norseman who settled in the Cotentin and founded the village of Hialtus Villa (Hauteville) from which the family takes its name." It would be more interesting if we were told the date of the genealogical work that invented a "Hiallt" from an etymology of "Hialtus Villa". Thirteenth century? Fourteenth century? --Wetman 15:23, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, the French Wikipedia gives none[1]. Srnec 21:56, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hiallt is a Scandinavian given name ? The Hauteville family is not necessarily of Scandinavian origin. It is believed that the Hauteville were a family of (Anglo-)Saxon origin. Tancred is a given name of Saxon origin (Dankrad, Tankrad), unknown among Western Franks. In Medieval Normandy, the name Tancred was also unknown. The Hauteville were descendants of Saxons (from Germany) or/and Anglo-Saxons (from (Great) Britain) who had settled in northwest French coast between AD 300 (see Saxon Shore) and 1000 (Scandinavians from the Danelaw, together with some Anglo-Saxons settled in Normandy).-31.35.104.232 (talk) 20:44, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I know nothing about this family or their origins but Hjalti or Hialti is a very old Nordic name so it is not pulled out of thin air. Óli Gneisti (talk) 18:29, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hjalte/Hialte Norse/Icelandic = "Hilt" as in hilt of a sword. This is a Scandinavian name. The haplogroup most often associated with this name is U106>Z159>BY3317>CTS3553 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:8C3:4001:4952:E893:E96B:AC0C:6A7B (talk) 20:27, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hauteville family → House of Hauteville – Everywhere else other than Wikipedia, the Hautevilles are called a house, even on Britannica. It doesn’t make sense to list them as a family vittoriobr (talk) 07:12, 19 October 2024 (UTC) This is an uncontroversial technical request (permalink). ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 12:29, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hauteville is mention throughout an 1894 source in French that is available online

I am not fluent in reading French, but I found a source that is available online.

Signée, L.C. (1894). "Notes sur la Monographie du Mesnil-Thébault". Revue de l'Avranchin et du pays de Granville (in French). 31 (174, pts. 3-4). Avranches: Société d'archéologie, de littérature, sciences et arts: 314, 316–319. ISSN 0035-1342. OCLC 473239154.

Hauteville is also mentioned throughout the volume. Peaceray (talk) 19:23, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
