Auchonvillers is a commune in the Somme department in Hauts-de-France in northern France.
Its name seems to come from an old German man's name Alko (hypocoristic for a name starting Alk-) or similar (who invaded with the Franks in the 5th century AD), and Latin villare ("[land] belonging to a villa, farm").[2]
First World War
The area was involved in the Battle of the Somme. There is a big war cemetery there. English-speaking troops commonly rendered the place's name as "Ocean Villas".[3]
