The Orcadian name being mentioned is Hogboon. But the second element means farmer, it is the first that makes him one of we haugr 'mound-dweller' (from the Old English with Scots/Lallans being derived from a diffferent dialect to that giving rise to Middle English. The Scandinavian equivalent are the huldu-folk and I don't reckon Puck would like being called a troll !).
