That explanation is linked through 'the name' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
Maybe #Jonah's named after “Jonah” from The Bible (directly or indirectly (named after someone who's named after someone who's ... who's named after 'the son of Amittai'), a name that is built on ancient words that mean "|Dove (the bird)."
The surname #Hill (#Hillam #Hull) is ... the name of a family that lives on- or near a Hill (built on ancient words that mean "to be Prominent"). #AntHill #Downhill #Dunghill #FootHill #Hillbilly #Hillock #Hillside #Hilltop #Hilly #Molehill #Uphill
'Hill' is actually his Middle Name, before the surname #Feldstein---based on ancient words that mean Field & Stone.
