Theories:

The German Phrase Theory: It is suggested that German travelers passing through on a sunny day exclaimed "So schön hell!" (meaning "So beautifully bright"), which locals misheard or adapted into "Hell."

Reasonable. Not celebrating immorality.

The George Reeves Quote: When asked what to name the settlement, Reeves allegedly replied, "I don't care, you can name it Hell for all I care," a sentiment reflecting the difficult, swampy conditions early settlers faced.

Hellish Conditions: The name may have referred to the literal "hell-like" environment of thick forests, wetlands, and swarms of mosquitoes that early pioneers endured.

Reasonable. Not celebrating immorality. Celebrating perseverance.
