Meine Stichproben ergaben, dass es zur überwiegenden Anzahl der Informationen zu US-amerikanischen Verwaltungsbezirken auch Hinweise zur Namensgebung gibt, die meist mit der Formel "The county was named ..." eingeleitet werden.
Dies rechtfertigt die Aufnahme im Etymologie-Portal.

Hamlet (city) Richmond County (W3)
Der Ort "Hamlet" wurde wegen seiner Größe als engl. "hamlet" = wörtlich dt. "Heimleinchen" bezeichnet.
Engl. "hamlet" (14. Jh.), mengl. "hamelet" bedeutet dt. "Weiler", "Flecken", "Dörfchen", anglo-norm. "hamelette", altfrz. "hamelet", die Verkleinerungsform von altfrz. "hamel" = dt. "kleines Dorf", das seinerseits eine Verkleinerungsform von "ham" = "Dorf" ist und weiter zurück geht auf fränk. "*haim", das mit dt. "Heim" und engl. "home" verwandt ist.
Die doppelte Verkleinerungsform macht also aus engl. "ham" = "Dorf" ein engl. "hamlet" = dt. "Heimleinchen" = dt. "kleines Örtchen".

Magnolia (town) Duplin County (W3)
Leider liefert "epodunk" keinen Hinweis. Entweder gab es auch hier eine Magnolienpflanzung wie bei Magnolia Springs, US, AL, oder man wollte dem Ort einfach einen blumigen Namen geben.
