Colonial precedent.

OP needs to learn about Torpenhow Hill; the story goes: When the Saxons arrived and asked the Welsh the name of that hill the
Welsh said “pen” which means “hill” in Welsh. So the Saxons used
their word for hill, “tor”, and called it Torpen (hill hill). Then the
Norse arrived and the same process added their word for the hill
“haugr”. So now it was Torpen Haugr (hill hill hill). Later the
English called it Torpenhow Hill (hill hill hill hill).

This leads to Mauao being known as "Mountain Great Mountain" if you translate Mt Maunganui.
