I would imagine that "hell" would be the modern translation of the Sindarin word Udûn, meaning "The Pit" or "The Underworld" in Westron, which was the name given to the First Realm of Morgoth (Utumno in Quenya).

In the Third Age, Udûn was also the name given in Gondor to the north-western region of Mordor lying beyond the Black Gate.
