There might have been, it's a possibility, and the story "Holdings of Jarl Gjalund" does't specifically state that it's the same place, but it places it in Whiterun Hold. This book dates back to the first era, yet mentions Hroldan being seizzed, which happened in the second era.

Though it could also be that he was named after the town and it kind got switched. The book is often overlooked by many players.
