Etymology
French linguist René Lepelley writes that the etymology of Hiéville is similar to that of the commune Hiesville in the Manche department. Both names probably come from the word 'hedo' (derived from the Ancient Greek word for pleasure) and the Old French word 'ville', which originally referred to a rural estate or territory. Ville itself was derived from the Latin phrase 'villa rustica,' a countryside home.
