Etymology
'Haskel 's village,' v. þorp . The pers. name Haskel is to be derived from OWScand Hǫskollr (v. LindN s.n. Hǫskuldr ); in OSwed Hoske we may have an OEScand form of the name (v. Lundgren-Brate 111). During the ME period the vowel was lengthened to give the modern diphthong, perhaps on the analogy of the word haste .
