Der er flere versioner af oprindelsen til navnet: Fru Mettes Bjerg. En af dem er, at en kvinde, Fru Mette, fra herregården Hundsbæk fødte et uønsket barn. Hun ombragte barnet og begravede det i højen. Efter sin død så man kvinde vandre hvileløst omkring ved sit barns grav. Først da barnet var gravet op og begravet i indviet jord, fik kvinden fred og holdt op med at spøge.
There are more explanations on why the hill is named: Miss Mette's Hill. On of them tells about a woman from the nearby manor Hundsbæk, who gave birth to an unwanted child. After the birth she put the child to death and burried it in the hill. After her death people saw the ghost of the woman walking restlessly around at her child's grave. After the dead body of the child was digged up and burried in Consecrated ground, Miss Mette didn't haunt the area any longer.
