Etymology
In the first form Hoved is from OWSc hǫfuð, 'head,' clearly used here of the mountain itself, and the whole name, which is an inversion compound, may be interpreted 'Glaramara head.' The first element in the difficult Glaramara can be explained without violence to the early forms as (at ) gliúfrum , 'at the ravines,' the dative plural of ON gliúfr , to which erg , 'shieling,' was subsequently added. For the formation cf. Carhampton (So), the first element of which is (æt ) carrum .
