Not sure

edit

The latinization -hulmus we find about a part of the -hou names can be a ill latinization. The Old Norse holmr gave different toponyms in Normandy such as le Houlme, le Homme, le Hom. A large part of the -hou names does not correspond to any island.

On the other hand, the Old English word hoh "slope", "incline" can be identified in many norman place names such as Hotot, Hottot (English Huttoft), le Hou, etc..
