For the same reason Stonehenge have henge in it's name
- thaumasiotes 7y agoFor reference, the "henge" in Stonehenge means a gallows, and is thought to be a reference to the shape of the structures. (What do you do on a gallows? You hang.)
- blowski 7y agoAnother theory is that it refers to the way the top stone "hinges" on the bottom two. Nobody is certain about the etymology.
