Wasn’t this “hill hill hill” hill name debunked by Tom Scott?
Comment on How did people end-up agreeing on the name of rivers/mountains and seas ?

There also are multiple rivers with danu root, that also means river: danube, donets, don. People aren’t exceptionally good at naming in general, so “hill” hill and “river” river. 😄
