The Hamlett surname in historical dictionaries
Patronymica Britannica (1860)
HAMLETT. Hamlet or Ilamleth appears to have been an old Scandinavian personal name, whether the hero of Shakspeare's tragedy was a real character or only an imaginary one. If this derivation is incorrect, we can hardlj' fall back ujjon hamlet, a small village, for the origin of the surname. Grose says that it is a provincialism for a high constable.
