The language is Cumbric, an offshoot of Welsh which was used until ~12th Century.
Helvellyn, when spoken correctly in proper Welsh (which was similar to the Cumbric language), sounds a lot like 'halltllyn' (ie pronounced in Welsh: Ha-cleckt-clin)
The Welsh word llyn (in Welsh pronounced klin) is Welsh for a lake.
The Welsh word 'hallt' (pronounced ha-klt) has many different meanings, including a hillside, cliff edge, severe, and salty.
Maybe over time Halltllyn mutated into Helvellyn, along with the English pronunciation rather than Cumbric/ Welsh. As Helvellyn is next to a small lake called Red Tarn, prehaps it means 'hillside next to a lake'.
