Etymology
First attested as harega in the first half of the 11th century. Originally called Hargan, derived from the dative plural form of Old Dutch harag (“holy place”). The toponym was eventually replaced by Kethel, perhaps derived from Middle Dutch ketel (“bowl-shaped depression in the landscape”) or ketel (“kettle”) (here referring to the sign of an inn). Compare Hargen, Harich and Harrow. Formerly an independent village.
