Ida de Hainault - Great Grandma's Last name (?)

Hello,
Looking up my 25th Great Grandma, I found her name to be after the town Hainaut.
I found this ref. on her father Baldwin III, Count of Hainaut.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldwin_III,_Count_of_Hainaut

From what I have tried to find out online. Is her name is "Hainaut" - not "Hainault".

I am confused where the "L" in her name came from.

Does anyone know this answer? As I would like to get it straight for my records.

Great Grandma is also my 26th Great Aunt on my Dad's Dad's side, and 25th GGma on my Dad's Mom's side.

Its not her surname. No one had surnames at the time. It just means she was from that area.

Ok, then her name is wrong! - The area is called "Hainaut". No L in the name.

So this should be fixed.
