-hou is a suffix found commonly in Channel Islands and Norman names. It is the Norman language version of the Old Norse holmr, meaning a small island, and often found anglicised elsewhere as "holm". It can still be found in modern Scandinavian languages, e.g. Stockholm. The Norman toponym and diminutive hommet/houmet also derives from this element. In Parisian French, the equivalent is îlot, which is cognate with the English "islet".
