There's a hill in Kentucky called Brit's Knob.
Made me laugh.
In Kentucky is a region called The Knobs, named for a narrow, 230 mile arcing row of isolated hills and cone-shaped earth mounds that wraps around the northern part of the state from border to border, separating the northern and southern Blue Grass regions.
Some geologists assert that the conical mounds, known as knobs, are man-made. Others strongly disagree, noting that capstones on many of the knobs is indicative of erosion. Some are several hundred feet in height.
Many of the knobs (if not all) are named for an historical owner of the property it sits upon, including Britt's Knob.
