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)
