Etymologie

() Usually thought to be from bill + hook, but this is incorrect. Earlier names include bill, hedge bill and hook bill - bill is from Old German beil (Dutch bijl) meaning a short axe like cutting tool - hook is from Old German hacken meaning a cutting or chopping action - hence chopping axe i.e. hackebeil (DE) or hakbijl (NL). see http://www.billhooks.co.uk/Etymology.htm
