even more...(m)
in reply to a message by Menke
http://home.nextra.sk/hazlin/Historia/historia.htmabove is a site in Slovakian (can't read it either) about a Slovakian village called Hazlin (!). The interesting part is that on the site bottom there are listed how the city was referred to in history. It was first mentioned in 1415 as Heuslingh and later one as Esleng, Hazlyngh, Haslin and finally Hazlin. it all looks very much like Hesling and Hazelinus. another connection i guess. i hope anyone can help me translate the site to see if it contains more useful information (like how it got its name or alike)

i have asked a native speaker of the Slovak language at AllExperts.com to translate the website for me (which is free).
Within no longer than two days the translation will be ready (according to the site it could be ready today :-) )

no connection...(m)i've found out that Ashlyn and Ascelin have a connection (share the same origin), but there's no connection between them and Hessel. Hazelinus is indeed a derivation of Hessel, but has nothing to do with Azelinus. i've found Asselin in the database of firstnames of the Meertens Instituut and this name is related to Ashlyn and Ascelin (the site doesn't say that but the name Asselin is composed of ask and lin , like Ascelin and Ashlyn. well, that was it.
