The name "Tjenne" refers to a certain Johanna Machiels from Helshoven, who was accused of witchcraft in 1665 and sentenced to death in 1667 after a two-year trial. Her sentence was announced at the foot of a huge linden tree at a crossroads of the four municipalities of Helshoven, Gotem, Mettekoven and Voort.
Johanna Machiels was burned at the stake a few hundred meters away, on the highest point of the hill.
