The spur of the Hondsrug in Groningen has led to the creation of various villages build on artificial dwelling hills: Adorp, Sauwerd, Wetsinge, Winsum, Baflo, Rasquert, Warffum, Usquert, Rottum.
However, it is more likely a bastardization of the older name Hunze-rug, coming from the name of the Hunze River, which flows through Drenthe and Groningen.
Up until the 19th century the Hondsrug was also known as the Bisschopsrug, meaning "Bishop's Ridge".
It has been debated what kind of landform it should be, suggestions ranging from medial moraines to mega-flutes.
